Rotational Inertia

097 - Rotational Inertia
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the angular momentum of an object if a product of the rotational inertia and the angular velocity. The rotational inertia depends on the mass, radius and shape of the rotating objects. A sample calculation and several examples are included.

    I'm just discovering physics (or the study of, at least.) Went to college, but with a 6th grade education, (that's when I was expelled.) I didn't take any physics classes in college, my curriculum didn't call for it. I had never been exposed to the study of physics, but I am loving it. Just in a few hours tonight I was able to understand people when they talk about energy, and the transfer of it. Not to say that I expect it to always be easy. But it's fun, regardless. It's so cool to learn that energy is never created or destroyed. It's just transferred. What we have is what we'll always have. That understanding brings into focus a lot of other laws that I've heard a million times just because they're famous, but I never really "got it." Newtons laws make total sense now. Takes energy to alter energy. I understood all of this video. It just made sense. When he was talking about da Vinci's variable flywheel, I immediately thought of ice skaters, who will start a slow spin with their arms out, then slowly bring them in and their rotational speed increases. I may be using the wrong term here, but does that mean that it is inversely proportional since it can happen both ways, or is there another equation going on here? Perhaps it has something to do with going into the spin? I noticed they go from a straight line and take that energy into a tight spin with their foot, with one leg dangling out. Well, I could go on. If anyone can suggest a friendly physics forum, that'd be great. Seems like I should take an introductory physics class, too. So absolutely fascinating. Well, just wanted to share my mini-awakening. Off to read more on it :)

    You realize energy is never created or destroyed because we chose state variables in a way that made it never be created or destroyed. Search up inelastic collisions. It doesn't always apply. Energy is a way to get the properties of an object (like its velocity) and translate it to something else (like the height it reaches) without having to go through the icks of the process, of the kinematics in this case. As they discover more properties an object can have (like temperature, or rotational energy or whatev) they create more energy equations in a way that you can translate easily from one scenario to the other (for example, how far will burning this fuel get this car). You don't actually need energy to solve these problems, and at the beginning, no one used energy. I would suggest straying away from justifying things with energy until u really understand them physically. Just some advice.

    It is the tendency of mass (matter) to want to keep doing whatever it is doing. If an object is at rest, it wants to stay at rest. If it is in moving, it wants to maintain that motion (resisting acceleration, which is a change in motion). That's really the whole point in Newton's first law. More mass, more inertia. More ability to "resist change". A way I think about it, and this will make more or less sense depending on how much you know about mechanical physics (impulse, momentum, and energy), is that inertia, or mass, is like a battery. Like a battery, inertia acts as a storage place for energy. If you have a ton of mass in a freight train, you essentially have a huge energy battery. The caveat of this battery is that the larger the mass/inertia, the harder it is to charge or drain the battery. In other words, a resting freight train has a ton of inertia, so it is hard to "charge" it, or get it to start moving, at which point it would store that "charge" in the form of kinetic energy. Once you get it going, you're going to have to work equally hard (pun intended) to drain that charge. In contrast, a toy car has a much smaller mass/inertia relative to the freight train, and so it is easier to charge up (pushing it across the ground with your hand, accelerating it) or draining its charge (halting it with your hand). Anyways, that's one way of looking at inertia. If all else fails, just remember Newton's first law and remember that it's just saying mass is inertia, and that the inertia of an object resists changes in motion. Hope that helps.

    There are products of inertia, that become important with generalized 3-d rotational mechanics. Inertia takes the form of a 3x3 square matrix called the inertia tensor. The diagonal terms are the three moments of inertia about the three coordinate axes, while the remaining 6 terms are mixed terms such as Ixy, Ixz, and Iyz. There is a symmetry to these 6 terms, so it is really just 6 independent terms in total, that form this tensor of 9 terms.

  • @carultch

    @carultch

    They come from calculus. The general formula is I = integral r^2 dm. You set up the value of dm to be an infinitesimal mass element, and you will see a spatial variable become the new variable of integration, after determining what dm is, in terms of that infinitesimal spatial variable, and constants. Then you carry out an integral across the dimensions of the shape. For the case of a cylinder, you set up your infinitesimal mass element to be a thin cylinder at radius r from the center, with a thickness dr, and a height h. The term dr is the infinitesimal change in the spatial variable r. The volume of this cylinder is 2*pi*h*r*dr, since the thin cylinder unwraps into a rectangular prism of dimensions 2*pi*r by h by dr. This means the infinitesimal mass element dm= 2*pi*rho*h*r*dr. Now we add this to the integral: I = integral r^2 * (2*pi*rho*h*r) dr, from r=0 to R Pull out the constants: I = 2*pi*rho*h * integral r^3 dr integral r^3 dr = 1/4*r^4 + C Evaluate from r=R to 0, and get 1/4*R^4 Put it back together: I = 2*pi*rho*h * (1/4*R^4) Simplify: I = pi*rho*h*R^4/2 Recall that rho = m/V, and V = pi*h*R^2 rho = m/(pi*h*R^2) I = pi*(m/(pi*h*R^2)) * h * R^4/2 Cancel pi, cancel h, cancel R^2, and get: I = 1/2*m*R^2
