2ndLE Lecture 23 and Recit Review - R9 Rotational Kinematics
Objectives
1. Distinguish rotational and translational quantities.
2. Apply the rotational kinematic relations in rotating
objects.
3. Relate the equations of rotational and translational
quantities.
A steel ball with mass 40.0g is dropped from a height of
2.00m onto a horizontal steel slab, the ball is in contact
with the slab for 2.00ms; then the ball rebounds to a
height of 1.60m. Calculate the (i) impulse delivered to the
ball and (ii) the average force in the ball during impact.
Spheres A (0.020kg), B (0.030kg) and C (0.050kg) are
approaching the origin as they slide on a frictionless air
table. The initial velocities of A and B are given in the
figure. All three spheres arrive at the origin at the same
time and stick together.
What must be the x- and y-components of the initial
velocity of C be if all three objects are to end up moving at
0.50m/s in the +x direction?
Rotation of rigid bodies
Neglect deformations
Rigid body Perfectly definite and
unchanging size and shape
Sweeping at an angular
distance
About a fixed stationary axis
(Axis at rest in some inertial frame of
reference)
Convention:
Counterclockwise: 𝜃 > 0
Clockwise: 𝜃 < 0
They sweep the same amount of angle for any given time. 6

Angle subtended at the center of circle by an arc with
a length equal to the radius of the circle (s = r )

Use the same form of kinematics equations for
uniform acceleration linear motion (1D)

Same direction, speeding up
Different directions, slowing down

3. Is it possible for two blocks to collide inelastically in such a
way that the kinetic energy after the collision is zero? YES!

a ballistic pendulum with mass 6.00kg, suspended from a
cord 70.0cm long. What is the velocity of just after collision?
What is the vertical height through with the pendulum rises?
