System: One rigid body in pure rotation or one point particle constrained to move in a circle. — Interactions: Any angular acceleration. — Warning: The constraint of rotational motion implies centripetal acceleration may have to be considered.

Introduction to the Model

Description and Assumptions

This model applies to a rigid body which is executing pure rotation confined to the xy plane about the origin.

Learning Objectives

Students will be assumed to understand this model who can:

  • Describe what it means for a system to execute pure rotation.
  • Convert from tangential (linear) quantities to the corresponding angular quantities using the radius of the motion.
  • Explain the dependence of angular quantities and of tangential quantities describing the motion of a point on the radius of the point from the axis of rotation.
  • Define tangential and centripetal acceleration for an object in rotational motion.
  • Relate centripetal acceleration to angular velocity.
  • Give an expression for the total acceleration of any point in a rigid body executing rotational motion in terms of the angular acceleration of the body, the angular velocity of the body and the radius of the point from the axis of rotation.
  • Summarize the analogies between angular motion with constant angular acceleration and linear motion with constant (linear) acceleration.

By definition, every point in an object undergoing pure rotation will have the same value for all angular quantities (θ, ω, α). The linear quantities (r, v, a), however, will vary with position in the object.
