ANgular kinetics Flashcards
What is angualr kinetics?
causes of angular motion
WHat is angular (rotary inertia). QUnatified as?
– property of an object to resist changes in its angular motion.
- moment of inertia (I)
is moment of inertia scalar or vector?
scalar
what is SI unit for moment of inertia
kg x m^2
What is the ri in the moment of inertia equation
radius frolm particle i to axis of rotation a
what is the radius of gyration?
the distance from the axis of rotation to the point at which an objects mass could be concentrated without changing angular inertia of an object
What is the differnencce between linear and angular inertia
linear inertia is dependent only on mass while angular is dependent on mass and distribution of mass (r or k)
What is Ka? What is r? in angular inertia
ka is radius of gyration about axis a
r is radius (distance) from particle i to axis of rotation ‘a’
An object free to rotate will rotate about what?
Its CG
what is an eccentric axis/when does it occur
Not thru an objects CG, occurs in objects that we swing as they have an axis of rotation thrust upon them
Why can objects have multiple moments of Inertia?
becuase they can rotate abtout many diffenect axes
What is angular inertia dependent on?
mass and distribution of mass (r or k)
Whats greater the moment of inertia about axis b or about the centre of gravity?
axis b
What are the 3 different axes which it is possible to have moments of inertia?
anteroposterior (saggital), longitudianl (vertical), transverse (frontal)
How many moments of inertia can each axes have?
