Consider a line from the center of the CD to its edge. Each pit used to record sound along this line moves through the same angle in the same amount of time. The rotation angle is the amount of rotation and is analogous to linear distance.

Figure 1. All points on a CD travel in circular arcs. Figure 2. We know that for one complete revolution, the arc length is the circumference of a circle of radius r. Thus for one complete revolution the rotation angle is. Figure 3. How fast is an object rotating? The greater the rotation angle in a given amount of time, the greater the angular velocity. To get the precise relationship between angular and linear velocity, we again consider a pit on the rotating CD.

We can also call this linear speed v of a point on the rim the tangential speed. Note that the speed of a point on the rim of the tire is the same as the speed v of the car.

See Figure 4. Figure 4. The speed of the tread of the tire relative to the axle is v , the same as if the car were jacked up. A larger angular velocity for the tire means a greater velocity for the car. Calculate the angular velocity of a 0. When we cancel units in the above calculation, we get Because radians are actually unitless radians are defined as a ratio of distance , we can simply insert them into the answer for the angular velocity. Also note that if an earth mover with much larger tires, say 1.

Angular velocity has only two directions with respect to the axis of rotation—it is either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Linear velocity is tangent to the path, as illustrated in Figure 5. Tie an object to the end of a string and swing it around in a horizontal circle above your head swing at your wrist.

Maintain uniform speed as the object swings and measure the angular velocity of the motion. What is the approximate speed of the object? Identify a point close to your hand and take appropriate measurements to calculate the linear speed at this point.

Identify other circular motions and measure their angular velocities. Figure 5. As an object moves in a circle, here a fly on the edge of an old-fashioned vinyl record, its instantaneous velocity is always tangent to the circle.

The direction of the angular velocity is clockwise in this case. Join the ladybug in an exploration of rotational motion. Rotate the merry-go-round to change its angle, or choose a constant angular velocity or angular acceleration. Skip to main content. Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation. Remember that the front and back tires respond to the road differently, so rotating between the two positions helps ensure even wear.

If you feel your steering wheel vibrating, one of the first places you should look is your tires. Uneven tread can cause a lot of the vibrations that you feel through the steering wheel while you drive. Next, look closely at the tires on your vehicle and measure the tread on several spots on each tire. If you notice that there is feathering or inconsistencies in thickness across a single tire, you should look into getting them rotated as soon as possible. As a general rule of thumb, you should rotate your tires about every six to eight thousand miles.

A good way to remember is to have them rotated every time you get an oil change. You may need to get your tires rotated more often if you drive a performance vehicle, for instance, or if you notice substantial uneven wear.
