Capitolo 11, Problema 73

The time-dependent position of a point object which moves counterclockwise along the circumference of a circle (radius R) in the xy plane with constant speed υ is given by r→\(\overrightarrow{r}\) = î R cos ωt + ĵ R sin ωt where the constant ω = v/R. Determine the velocity v→\(\overrightarrow{v}\) and angular velocity w→\(\overrightarrow{w}\) of this object and then show that these three vectors obey the relationv→=ω→×r→\(\overrightarrow{v}\)=\(\overrightarrow{\omega}\[\times\]\overrightarrow{r}\).

Start by understanding the given position vector: \( \mathbf{r}(t) = \hat{i} R \cos(\omega t) + \hat{j} R \sin(\omega t) \). This represents the position of the object in the xy-plane as a function of time, where \( R \) is the radius of the circle, and \( \omega \) is the angular velocity.
To find the velocity vector \( \mathbf{v}(t) \), take the time derivative of the position vector \( \mathbf{r}(t) \): \( \mathbf{v}(t) = \frac{d\mathbf{r}(t)}{dt} = \hat{i} (-R \omega \sin(\omega t)) + \hat{j} (R \omega \cos(\omega t)) \). Simplify this to \( \mathbf{v}(t) = -R \omega \sin(\omega t) \hat{i} + R \omega \cos(\omega t) \hat{j} \).
Next, determine the angular velocity vector \( \mathbf{\omega} \). Since the motion is counterclockwise in the xy-plane, the angular velocity vector points along the positive z-axis. Thus, \( \mathbf{\omega} = \omega \hat{k} \), where \( \hat{k} \) is the unit vector in the z-direction.
Now, verify the relationship \( \mathbf{v} = \mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{r} \). Compute the cross product \( \mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{r} \): \( \mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{r} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 0 & 0 & \omega \\ R \cos(\omega t) & R \sin(\omega t) & 0 \end{vmatrix} \). Expand the determinant to get \( \mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{r} = (-R \omega \sin(\omega t)) \hat{i} + (R \omega \cos(\omega t)) \hat{j} \).
Compare the result of the cross product \( \mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{r} \) with the velocity vector \( \mathbf{v}(t) \). You will see that \( \mathbf{v}(t) = \mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{r}(t) \), confirming the given relationship.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Circular Motion

Circular motion refers to the movement of an object along the circumference of a circle. In this context, the object moves with a constant speed, which means that while its speed remains unchanged, its direction is continuously changing. This change in direction results in an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, known as centripetal acceleration, which is essential for maintaining circular motion.

Intro to Circular Motion

Velocity and Angular Velocity

Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, including both speed and direction. Angular velocity, on the other hand, measures how quickly an object rotates around a point or axis, expressed in radians per second. The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity is given by the formula v = ωR, where R is the radius of the circular path.

Escape Velocity

Cross Product of Vectors

The cross product of two vectors results in a third vector that is perpendicular to the plane formed by the original vectors. In the context of circular motion, the relationship v→ = ω→ x r→ illustrates how the linear velocity vector (v→) is derived from the angular velocity vector (ω→) and the position vector (r→). This relationship is fundamental in understanding how rotational motion translates into linear motion.

A toy gyroscope consists of a 170-g disk with a radius of 5.5 cm mounted at the center of a thin axle 21 cm long (Fig. 11–42). The gyroscope spins at 45 rev/s. One end of its axle rests on a stand and the other end precesses horizontally about the stand. How long does it take the gyroscope to precess once around?

A boy rolls a tire along a straight level street. The tire has mass 8.0 kg, radius 0.32 m and moment of inertia about its central axis of symmetry of 0.83 kg·m². The boy pushes the tire forward away from him at a speed of 2.1 m/s and sees that the tire leans 12° to the right (Fig. 11–49). How will the resultant torque due to gravity and the normal force FN→\(\overrightarrow{F_{N}\)} affect the subsequent motion of the tire?
