Neil,
This kind of anti-sceince attitude coming from insecurity of physicists
which will make physics a laughing stock to even middle school students.
Only an absolute anti-science thinkers will say that everything is OK with
the claim that the kinetic energy of mv is (mv^2)/2 even though the work
needed to do acceleration from m0 to mv needs not be (mv^2)/2. If
physicists are to regain public trust and respect they have to come clear
on this fatal issue. I have shown you that physics is nothing but a cult!
Main stream or dissident, this problem is shared among all of physicists.
Scientific honesty is in question.
We are determined to nail this fake science which mislead the entire
humanity for centuries. As I told you, Newton rejected energy. I presume
he knew this problem. We will make sure that this lie will stop. If
e=(mv^2)/2 does not bother you, what you are doing is not science, it is
cult! More and more people are now realizing that the so called physics
is more corrupted than the middle age Vatican cosmology. Vatican
theologians were honest. When they discovered that all of their 'proof'
for the existence of God was false as they assumed the existence of God to
prove the existence of God, they abandoned predicative reasoning and went
into modal logic from which today's information science benefits a lot.
I am pointing out the truth that the trouble of physics did not start with
relativity theory and quantum mechanics. They are also victims of the Post
Newtonian classical mechanics and em theory. When they introduced the
concept of energy without noticing that this concept is illegitimate,
physics stepped into a deep dung heap. After that physics became a cult a
most destructive cult.
I do not put cloth on my mouth when it comes to scientific truth. So,
sometimes I may be too direct. But it is what has to be done. What we need
is the truth and it does not come from indoctrination or social skill. We
have to discuss! I do not tolerate any bull shitting! I will clearly say,
something is wrong when it is wrong. This is the way of science. I also
make it clear that I do not understand if I do not understand. It is
called scientific honesty which the 20th century physics completely lost.
So, I will remind you that if you really think you are OK with what you
said to me about e=(mv^2)/2, you must make sure that you never use the
concept of energy in your work. What is Poingting vector about, b.t.w.?
Aether theory does not deal with Pointing vector?

Theoretical physics Aethro-Dynamics Textbook Perfect Paperback Steven Rado New. Free shipping DIGITAL BOOK Theoretical Basis for Nursing (5th Edition) - INSTANT DELIVERY. Introduction to Theoretical Physics, Leigh Page, 2d Ed. Hardcover 5th Prtg 1944. Posted by kanda, Jul 12, 2018 6:54 AM. Introduction 'Arthrokinematics' refers to the movement of joint surfaces. The angular movement of bones in the human body occurs as a result of a combination of rolls, spins, and slides. A roll is a rotary movement, one bone rolling on another. Aethro-Kinematics renders an alternate mechanical solution for the polarization of light. Thus, it reinstates Faraday and Maxwell's gaseous model of the Aether and resumes the original task of exploring all 'action at a distance forces' as fluid dynamical behavior of the all-pervading Aether.

  • Observe the kinematics of rotational motion.
  • Derive rotational kinematic equations.
  • Evaluate problem solving strategies for rotational kinematics.
Just by using our intuition, we can begin to see how rotational quantities like θ, ω, and α are related to one another. For example, if a motorcycle wheel has a large angular acceleration for a fairly long time, it ends up spinning rapidly and rotates through many revolutions. In more technical terms, if the wheel’s angular acceleration α is large for a long period of time t, then the final angular velocity ω and angle of rotation θ are large. The wheel’s rotational motion is exactly analogous to the fact that the motorcycle’s large translational acceleration produces a large final velocity, and the distance traveled will also be large.

Kinematics is the description of motion. The kinematics of rotational motion describes the relationships among rotation angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time. Let us start by finding an equation relating ω, α, and t. To determine this equation, we recall a familiar kinematic equation for translational, or straight-line, motion:

[latex]v={v}_{0}+{at}[/latex] (constant a)

Note that in rotational motion a = at, and we shall use the symbol a for tangential or linear acceleration from now on. As in linear kinematics, we assume a is constant, which means that angular acceleration α is also a constant, because a = . Now, let us substitute v = and a = into the linear equation above:

=0 + rat.

The radius r cancels in the equation, yielding

ω =ω0 + at. (constant a)

where ω0 is the initial angular velocity. This last equation is a kinematic relationship among ω, α, and t —that is, it describes their relationship without reference to forces or masses that may affect rotation. It is also precisely analogous in form to its translational counterpart.

Making Connections

Kinematics for rotational motion is completely analogous to translational kinematics, first presented in One-Dimensional Kinematics. Kinematics is concerned with the description of motion without regard to force or mass. We will find that translational kinematic quantities, such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration have direct analogs in rotational motion.
Aethro Kinematics

Starting with the four kinematic equations we developed in One-Dimensional Kinematics, we can derive the following four rotational kinematic equations (presented together with their translational counterparts):

Table 1. Rotational Kinematic Equations
RotationalTranslational
[latex]theta =bar{omega }t[/latex][latex]x=bar{v}t[/latex]
ω = ω0 + αtv = vo + at(constant α, a)
[latex]theta ={omega }_{0}t+frac{1}{2}{alpha t}^{2}[/latex][latex]x={v}_{0}t+frac{1}{2}{text{at}}^{2}[/latex](constant α, a)
ω2 = ω02+ 2αθv2 = vo2 + 2ax(constant α, a)

In these equations, the subscript 0 denotes initial values (θ0, x0, and t0 are initial values), and the average angular velocity [latex]bar{omega}[/latex] and average velocity [latex]bar{v}[/latex] are defined as follows:

[latex]bar{omega}=frac{{omega }_{0}+omega }{2}text{ and }overline{v}=frac{{v}_{0}+v}{2}[/latex].

The equations given above in Table 1 can be used to solve any rotational or translational kinematics problem in which a and α are constant.

Problem-Solving Strategy for Rotational Kinematics

  1. Examine the situation to determine that rotational kinematics (rotational motion) is involved. Rotation must be involved, but without the need to consider forces or masses that affect the motion.
  2. Identify exactly what needs to be determined in the problem (identify the unknowns). A sketch of the situation is useful.
  3. Make a list of what is given or can be inferred from the problem as stated (identify the knowns).
  4. Solve the appropriate equation or equations for the quantity to be determined (the unknown). It can be useful to think in terms of a translational analog because by now you are familiar with such motion.
  5. Substitute the known values along with their units into the appropriate equation, and obtain numerical solutions complete with units. Be sure to use units of radians for angles.
  6. Check your answer to see if it is reasonable: Does your answer make sense?

Example 1. Calculating the Acceleration of a Fishing Reel

A deep-sea fisherman hooks a big fish that swims away from the boat pulling the fishing line from his fishing reel. The whole system is initially at rest and the fishing line unwinds from the reel at a radius of 4.50 cm from its axis of rotation. The reel is given an angular acceleration of 110 rad/s2 for 2.00 s as seen in Figure 1. (a) What is the final angular velocity of the reel? (b) At what speed is fishing line leaving the reel after 2.00 s elapses? (c) How many revolutions does the reel make? (d) How many meters of fishing line come off the reel in this time?

Strategy

In each part of this example, the strategy is the same as it was for solving problems in linear kinematics. In particular, known values are identified and a relationship is then sought that can be used to solve for the unknown.

Solution for (a)

Here α and t are given and ω needs to be determined. The most straightforward equation to use is ω = ω0+αt because the unknown is already on one side and all other terms are known. That equation states that

We are also given that ω0 = 0 (it starts from rest), so that

ω = 0 + (110 rad/s2)(2.00 s) = 220 rad/s

Solution for (b)

Now that ω is known, the speed v can most easily be found using the relationship

where the radius r of the reel is given to be 4.50 cm; thus,

Note again that radians must always be used in any calculation relating linear and angular quantities. Also, because radians are dimensionless, we have m × rad = m .

Solution for (c)

Here, we are asked to find the number of revolutions. Because 1 rev=2π rad, we can find the number of revolutions by finding θ in radians. We are given α and t, and we know ω0 is zero, so that θ can be obtained using [latex]theta = omega_{0}t+frac{1}{2}{{alpha t}}^{2}[/latex].

[latex]begin{array}{lll}theta &=& omega_{0}t+frac{1}{2}{{alpha t}}^{2} &=& 0+left(text{0.500}right)left(text{110}{text{rad/s}}^{2}right){left(text{2.00 s}right)}^{2}=text{220 rad}.end{array}[/latex]

Converting radians to revolutions gives

[latex]theta =(220 text{ rad})frac{1 text{ rev}}{2pi text{rad}}=35.0 text{ rev}[/latex]

Solution for (d)

The number of meters of fishing line is x, which can be obtained through its relationship with θ:

Discussion

This example illustrates that relationships among rotational quantities are highly analogous to those among linear quantities. We also see in this example how linear and rotational quantities are connected. The answers to the questions are realistic. After unwinding for two seconds, the reel is found to spin at 220 rad/s, which is 2100 rpm. (No wonder reels sometimes make high-pitched sounds.) The amount of fishing line played out is 9.90 m, about right for when the big fish bites.

Figure 1. Fishing line coming off a rotating reel moves linearly. Example 10.3 and Example 10.4 consider relationships between rotational and linear quantities associated with a fishing reel.

Example 2. Calculating the Duration When the Fishing Reel Slows Down and Stops

Arthrokinematics Of Thoracic Spine

Now let us consider what happens if the fisherman applies a brake to the spinning reel, achieving an angular acceleration of -300 rad/s2. How long does it take the reel to come to a stop?

Strategy

We are asked to find the time t for the reel to come to a stop. The initial and final conditions are different from those in the previous problem, which involved the same fishing reel. Now we see that the initial angular velocity is ω0 = 220 rad/s and the final angular velocity ω is zero. The angular acceleration is given to be α = -300 rad/s2. Examining the available equations, we see all quantities but t are known in ω = ω0+αt, making it easiest to use this equation.

Solution

The equation states

ω = ω0 + αt.

We solve the equation algebraically for t, and then substitute the known values as usual, yielding

[latex]t=frac{omega -{omega }_{0}}{alpha }=frac{0-text{220 rad/s}}{-text{300}{text{rad/s}}^{2}}=0text{.}text{733 s}[/latex].

Discussion

Note that care must be taken with the signs that indicate the directions of various quantities. Also, note that the time to stop the reel is fairly small because the acceleration is rather large. Fishing lines sometimes snap because of the accelerations involved, and fishermen often let the fish swim for a while before applying brakes on the reel. A tired fish will be slower, requiring a smaller acceleration.

Example 3. Calculating the Slow Acceleration of Trains and Their Wheels

Large freight trains accelerate very slowly. Suppose one such train accelerates from rest, giving its 0.350-m-radius wheels an angular acceleration of 0.250 rad/s2. After the wheels have made 200 revolutions (assume no slippage): (a) How far has the train moved down the track? (b) What are the final angular velocity of the wheels and the linear velocity of the train?

Strategy

Arthrokinematics Spin

In part (a), we are asked to find x, and in (b) we are asked to find ω and v. We are given the number of revolutions θ, the radius of the wheels r, and the angular acceleration α.

Solution for (a)

The distance x is very easily found from the relationship between distance and rotation angle:

Solving this equation for x yields

x = rθ.

Aethro

Before using this equation, we must convert the number of revolutions into radians, because we are dealing with a relationship between linear and rotational quantities:

[latex]theta =left(text{200}text{rev}right)frac{2pi text{rad}}{text{1 rev}}=text{1257}text{rad}[/latex].

Now we can substitute the known values into x= to find the distance the train moved down the track:

x = rθ = (0.350 m)(1257 rad) = 440 m

Solution for (b)

Arthrokinematics

Arthrokinematics Def

We cannot use any equation that incorporates t to find ω, because the equation would have at least two unknown values. The equation [latex]{omega }^{2}={{omega }_{0}}^{2}+2alphatheta [/latex] will work, because we know the values for all variables except ω:

Aethro-kinematics

[latex]{omega }^{2}={{omega }_{0}}^{2}+2alphatheta[/latex]

Taking the square root of this equation and entering the known values gives

[latex]begin{array}{lll}omega & =& {left[0+2left(0text{.}text{250}{text{ rad/s}}^{2}right)left(text{1257}text{ rad}right)right]}^{1/2} & =& text{25.1 rad/s.}end{array}[/latex]

We can find the linear velocity of the train, v, through its relationship to ω:

Discussion

Arthrokinematics

The distance traveled is fairly large and the final velocity is fairly slow (just under 32 km/h).

There is translational motion even for something spinning in place, as the following example illustrates. Figure 2 shows a fly on the edge of a rotating microwave oven plate. The example below calculates the total distance it travels.

Figure 2. The image shows a microwave plate. The fly makes revolutions while the food is heated (along with the fly).

Example 4. Calculating the Distance Traveled by a Fly on the Edge of a Microwave Oven Plate

A person decides to use a microwave oven to reheat some lunch. In the process, a fly accidentally flies into the microwave and lands on the outer edge of the rotating plate and remains there. If the plate has a radius of 0.15 m and rotates at 6.0 rpm, calculate the total distance traveled by the fly during a 2.0-min cooking period. (Ignore the start-up and slow-down times.)

Strategy

First, find the total number of revolutions θ, and then the linear distance x traveled.[latex]theta =bar{omega}t[/latex] can be used to find θ because [latex]bar{omega}[/latex] is given to be 6.0 rpm.

Solution

Entering known values into [latex]theta =bar{omega} t[/latex] gives

[latex]theta =bar{omega }t=left(text{6.0 rpm}right)left(text{2.0 min}right)=text{12 rev}[/latex].

As always, it is necessary to convert revolutions to radians before calculating a linear quantity like x from an angular quantity like θ:

[latex]theta =left(text{12 rev}right)left(frac{2pi text{rad}}{text{1 rev}}right)=75.4 text{ rad}[/latex].

Now, using the relationship between x and θ, we can determine the distance traveled:

Discussion

Quite a trip (if it survives)! Note that this distance is the total distance traveled by the fly. Displacement is actually zero for complete revolutions because they bring the fly back to its original position. The distinction between total distance traveled and displacement was first noted in One-Dimensional Kinematics.

Check Your Understanding

Rotational kinematics has many useful relationships, often expressed in equation form. Are these relationships laws of physics or are they simply descriptive? (Hint: the same question applies to linear kinematics.)

Solution

Rotational kinematics (just like linear kinematics) is descriptive and does not represent laws of nature. With kinematics, we can describe many things to great precision but kinematics does not consider causes. For example, a large angular acceleration describes a very rapid change in angular velocity without any consideration of its cause.

Section Summary

  • Kinematics is the description of motion.
  • The kinematics of rotational motion describes the relationships among rotation angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time.
  • Starting with the four kinematic equations we developed in the One-Dimensional Kinematics, we can derive the four rotational kinematic equations (presented together with their translational counterparts) seen in Table 1.
  • In these equations, the subscript 0 denotes initial value ([latex]{x}_{0}[/latex] and [latex]{t}_{0}[/latex] are initial values), and the average angular velocity [latex]bar{omega}[/latex] and average velocity [latex]bar{v}[/latex] are defined as follows:
    [latex]bar{omega }=frac{{omega }_{0}+omega }{2}text{ and }bar{v}=frac{{v}_{0}+v}{2}[/latex].
