Rotational Motion- ByAditya Abeysinghe
Definitions of some special terms
1. Angular position (Φ) - The angular position of a particle is the
angle made between the line connecting the particle to the
ɸ
original and the positive direction of the x-axis, measured in a
counterclockwise direction
2. Angular displacement (θ) - The radian value of the angle displaced
by an object on the center of its path in circular motion from the
initial position to the final position is called the angular
displacement.

3. Angular Velocity(ω)- Angular velocity of an object in circular
motion is the rate of change of angular displacement over time

Therefore the fourequations of angular movement are-
1. ω = ω0 + αt
2. θ = (ω + ω0 )t/2
3. θ = ω0t + ½ αt2
4. ω2
= ω0

+ 2αθ
It should be noted that these four equations are
analogous to the four linear equations of motion:
5. V = U + at
6. S = (V + U)t/2
7. S = Ut + ½ at2
8. V2
= U2
+ 2as
Where:
V: Final velocity
U: Initial velocity
a: Acceleration
t: Time
S: Displacement (change in position)

TORQUE
Torque is called the moment of force and is a
measure of the turning effect of the force about
a given axis.
A torque is needed to rotate an object at rest or
to change the rotational mode of an object.
The rate of change of angular momentum of an
object in rotational motion is proportional to the
external unbalanced torque. The direction of
the torque also lies in the direction of the
angular momentum.

ROLLING BODY
Rolling is a combination of rotational and transitional(linear)
motions.
Suppose a sphere is rolling on a plane surface, the velocity
distribution can be expressed as,

DANCE/EXERCISE ROUTINE
1. Activity:The teacher groups the learners into groups with a maximum of
five members. The teacher instructs the learners to design a two- to three-
minute dance or exercise routine exemplifying translational and rotational
motion through body movement. The routine may or may not have musical
accompaniment. For every movement, the performers will state whether the
action demonstrates translational
motion or rotational motion by saying “translational” or “rotational.”
2. The routine will be presented on the next meeting.
3. After all groups have presented, the teacher asks the question: How
important is understanding translational and rotational motion in human
movement?
4. The teacher summarizes the discussion, focusing on the application of
translational and rotational motion in human movement.
