Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion匀速圆周运动的动力学.pptVIP

Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion Uniform Circular Motion is the motion of an object traveling at a constant (uniform) speed on a circular path. This fan has a radius of .7m and is rotating at 90 rev/min. How fast is the end tip of the fan blade going? Convert 90 rev / min to the time it takes for one revolution. V = 2πr = 2(3.14)(.7m) = m/s T 1.67 sec Centripetal Acceleration Uniform circular motion emphasizes that velocity vector is constant – but the direction of this constant velocity is not constant. By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity over time. The “change in velocity” for an object in UCM is the change in the velocity vector. The acceleration that occurs is toward the center of the circle. It is the force that is pulling the object “in” Centripetal Acceleration The centripetal acceleration (the acceleration toward the center of a circle) of an object depends on the velocity of the object and the radius of the circle and is expressed as: ac = v2 r How fast would the outer most part of the space station have to spin in order to have a centripetal acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 ? a = v2 / r a = 9.8 m/s r = 100m/2 = 50m Solving for v: v = \/~(a r) = \/~(9.8m/s2)(50m) = 22.1 m/s Centripetal Force The net force required to keep an object of mass m, moving at a constant velocity v, on a circular path. Centripetal Force Lab Review A person on a centrifuge with a radius of 6m spins around once in 2 seconds. The person is in contact with a scale that is reading 1,100 lbs. What is the mass of the person being spun? How many G’s is this person experiencing? 1N = .22 lb 2.2lbs = 1kg A person on a centrifuge with a radius of 6m spins around once in 2 seconds.
