Key QuesFons: (Discuss with neighbors before quiz) 1) What is torque? 2) What is a moment arm? 3) What are the condiFons for translaFonal and rotaFonal equilibrium? 4) What is the version of Newton's second law for rotaFonal moFon? 5) What is angular momentum? Reading Quiz 13-‐1 • What is torque? A) the net force on an object that rotates B) the resistance of an object to change its rotaFon C) the product of the mass of an object and its angular acceleraFon D) the force that provides the centripetal force E) the tendency of a force to cause an angular acceleraFon Reading Quiz 13-‐2 • What is a moment arm? A) The distance between the line of acFon of a force and an object’s center of mass. B) The perpendicular distance between the line of acFon of a force and an object’s moment of inerFa. C) The distance between the line of acFon of a force and an object’s moment of inerFa. D) The perpendicular distance between the line of acFon of a force and an object’s axis of rotaFon E) The distance between the line of acFon of a force and an object’s axis of rotaFon. Reading Quiz 13-‐3 • What are the condiFons for both translaFonal and rotaFonal equilibrium? A) net force is zero. B) net force and net torque are zero. C) no translaFonal moFon. D) no rotaFon. E) no translaFonal moFon and no rotaFon. Reading Quiz 13-‐4 • What is the version of Newton's second law for rotaFonal moFon? A) Στ = I ω B) Στ = I α C) Στ = m α D) Στ = ma E) Στ = ½ I ω2 Reading Quiz 13-‐5 • What is angular momentum? A) L = I ω B) L = I α C) L = m α D) L = ma E) L = ½ I ω2 Announcements • No reading quiz tomorrow • No clicker points, but we might have clicker review quesFons. • Homework due at 4pm in Evan’s office hours – My office hour at noon, – Evan’s office hours 2-‐4 pm, – Evan’s review session 5-‐6 pm CalculaFng your grade • Points already earned: – 0.35 x (Final quiz grade) ≈ 20% – 0.2 x (Homework grade) (all of them are out of 3) – 0.1 x (Reading quiz grade) – 0.05 x (Clicker grade) • Final Grade cutoffs (that might be lowered): – A … above 88% – B … above 75% – C … above 63% – D … above 50% • Take the cutoff that you want to reach, subtract points already earned, divide by 0.35 … That is what you need to get on the Final to guarantee that grade.
