Energy
W = Fd W = Work done
F = Force applied
d = Distance travelled
aT = rα aT = Tangential (Linear) acceleration KER = 1/2 IPω2 = KER = Kinetic Rolling Energy
r = Radius 1/2(ICOM + mhh)ω2 1/2(m(VCOM) 2) = Sliding Equation
α = Angular acceleration =1/2(m(VCOM) 2) + 1/2Iω 2 = Rotation Equation
aC = VT 2 / r aC = Centripetal acceleration 1/2Iω 2
VT = Tangential (Linear) velocity l = mrω l = Momentum of a particle
r = Radius L = Iω L = Momentum of a rigid body (not a
ar = rω2 ar = Radial Acceleration particle)
r = Radius NOTE:
ω = Angular velocity - You may need to consider that ω = dθ / dt and α = dω / dt.
- Account for all objects rotating the pivot point when calculating I.
- Momentum is ALWAYS conserved.
