Rotational Kinematics/Dynamics and Fluids Flashcards
Formula for Angular velocity
ω = (θf - θi) / t
Formula for Angular acceleration
α = ω/t
How is angular velocity affected by the position of the object
The angular velocity remains the same independently of the objects position
How is translational velocity affected by the position of the object
The farther you are from the center the more translational velocity you have
I rev is equal to
2π
Center of mass formula
Xcm = (m1x1 + m2x2 +…./m1+m2+…)
Formula for torque
τ = F*l (perpendicular force x lever arm) or τ = Iα (inertia x angular acceleration)
When approaching torque problems, which force do you use
Only use the perpendicular force
Formula for Inertia
I = (mr^2)
Mass distributed towards the outside
Has more intertia
Mass distributed towards the inside
Has less inertia, will reach bottom first (solid)
Formula for Angular Momentum
L =Iω
Formula for Rotational KE
KE = 1/2(Iω^2)
What are the values of force and torque during static equillbirum
F=0
τ = 0
How does the gravity of an object relate to the specific gravity of H2O
If an object has 2x the gravity of H2O, then its specific gravity is 2.
If its gravity is 1/2 of H2O then the SG is 1/2 etc.
