Chapter 6 PowerPoint Flashcards
What is angular motion?
Rotational motion around an axis
Rotation is called ____ ____?
Rotation is called Angular motion
Almost all ____ movements involve rotation?
Almost all our/human movements involve rotation.
ie.
-Joints
-Swinging a bat or racquet
-Cars moving
-Door opening
Centric force?
Centric Force – directed through the center
Eccentric force?
Eccentric Force – away from the center
Torque?
Torque – the tendency of an eccentric force to rotate an object around an axis.
Aka moment of force or moment.
Axis of rotation?
Axis of rotation – point about which a body rotates
What two factors does torque depend on?
Torque depends on 2 factors
-Magnitude of externally applied force
-Distance the force is applied from the axis of rotation
Moment arm?
Moment Arm – perpendicular distance between the force and axis of rotation
What is the equation for torque?
T = F x r x sin Θ
T = F x d
Torque = Force x moment arm
Torque is a ____ quantity because it has
____ and ____?
Torque is a vector quantity because it has
Magnitude and Direction
How to define the direction of torque?
Torque has a Turning effect
Clockwise (-)
Counterclockwise (+)
Right hand thumb rule
Torque itself is not ____ or ____ it is simply a direction or sense of rotation around the defined axis?
Torque itself is not positive or negative it is simply a direction or sense of rotation around the defined axis
How to find net torque?
-Establish magnitude of applied force
1cm = 10N
-Find the length of moment arm by measuring perpendicular distance between axis of rotation and applied force
-Calculate torque for each force using equation
-Establish direction for each torque using the righthand rule
-Sum the torques to find the net magnitude and direction of rotation caused by torques
The sum of all torques equals ____?
The sum of all torques equals 0
Where is the center of mass for a symmetrical object?
In the center
What is the center of gravity?
Center of gravity – the point where all torques = 0
How does finding the center of gravity in a human work?
Center of Gravity in a Human
-Unequal, nonsymmetrical object
-Can’t doesn’t work the same
-Calculate mass distribution and then sum torques to 0
The center of gravity varies between ____–____% of standing height measured from the soles of the feet depending upon gender.
The center of gravity varies between 53–59% of standing height measured from the soles of the feet depending upon gender.
What is angular position?
The location of a given point based on the distance from the origin (r) and angle (theta) between the chosen reference axis the line formed by connecting the given point to the origin
What is angular distance?
Angular distance is the sum of all angular changes.
What are the three units for angular displacement?
Units: degrees, radians, or rotations
What is angular displacement?
Angular displacement is the difference between the initial and final positions
How is angular displacement defined?
Defined by both magnitude and direction
CW (-), CCW (+)
Units in Degrees, Radians, Revolutions
What is a radian?
360° /2π = 57.3° = 1 radian
The radius – half the diameter of a circle
The radian is the size of the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle.
When is the use of radians beneficial?
Its more convenient unit for extremely large angular distances or displacements
Radians are often quantified in multiples of ____?
Radians are often quantified in multiples of pi (π)
What is the conversion between degrees, radians, and revolutions?
90 degrees
pi/2 radians
1/4 revolution
180 degrees
pi radians
1/2 revolution
270 degrees
3pi/2radians
3/4 revolution
360 degrees
2pi radians
1 revolution
The rate of change in angular motion is calculated using what units?
The rate of change in angular motion
Units deg/s, rad/s, rev/s
