Angular Kinetics Flashcards
Kinematics
Area of study that examines the spatial and temporal components of motion
time/angular p, v, and a
Kinetics
Study of the causes for motion
mainly forces, torque, power, energy
It takes 50 N of force to pull a spring, what is the average force?
25 N
Always half of the peak force at stretched amount
Angular motion
Rotation
Different regions of object travel different linear distances over the SAME time
What changes during angular motion?
The orientation
Describe how points on an axis of rotation travel during angular motion
They do not travel
Describe how points further from the axis travel during angular motion
Travel more
True or false:
All points move through the same angle during angular motion
True
Pure rotation
No linear motion of the axis of rotation
General motion
Rotation and translation occur at the same time
Degrees are considered what type of unit?
Supplemental unit
True or false:
Degrees are considered a base unit
False
not required
Angular position, velocity, and acceleration are classified as ______?
Vectors
Angular position is about which axis?
z
Since angular position is always about the x axis, what do we need not need to include?
Direction (+)/(-) just keep positive
How do you find angular displacement
(Angular position final)-(angular position initial)
Does not care about the distance traveled, just start to end
True or false:
Regardless of the angular direction, you should always add positive values for angular distance.
True
Does positive angular velocity constitute a positive angular acceleration?
No
Positive angular acceleration conditions
- Speeding up during positive rotation
- Slowing down during negative rotation
Positive rotation direction
CCW
Negative rotation direction
CW
Negative angular acceleration conditions
- Speeding up during negative rotation
- Slowing down during positive rotation
Positive velocity
CCW direction
Negative velocity
CW direction
