Chapter 1: Curve Sketching INTRODUCTION A structure, no matter how complicated, is composed of basic building materials. In mathematics, the study of complicated functions such as f(x) = -1 (ex + e-x), log x e x 2 sin-l ex, etc. can be facilitated by sketching the graphs of these functions. But how can we best accomplish this? Firstly,by identifying them by the basic curves (listed below) and then using a number of systematic steps to produce reasonably good graphs. The objective is to draw a quick and neat sketch of the curve showing all the essential features (see section 1.2). Any thought of drawing the graph by brute force i.e. plotting scores of points must be abandoned, as it would most probably miss the essential features, such as asymptotes and the critical points.

1.1

Method for Sketching the Curves

A sketch of the curve shou1d convey the general shape of the curve, showing the following information. 1.

Intercepts on the axes x

2.

=0

gives the y-intercept, y

=0

gives the x-intercept.

Symmetry The curve is symmetric about the (a) y-axis if f(x) = f(-x) (b) origin 0 if f(-x)

3.

= -f(x)

Asymptotes If y = f(x) is a rational function of the form f(x) = _ (a) vertical asymptotes are g1ven by h(x) = 0

~~x~ x

, where g(x) and h(x) are polynomials, then the:

(b) horizontal asymptotes are given by ;i: I co I f(x) if it exists, say y

= c.

2 Example: The vertical asymptotes of the curve y = 2X + 1 are given by 2 X - 1 2 x - 1 = 0 , i.e. x = .! 1 and the horizontal asymptotes are given by 2 Lim 2/ + 1 = 2 and y = Lim 2x + 1 _ . _ Y =X +co. 2 x~-oo 2 - 2 'I.e. Y- 2• X -· 1 X - I 4.

Critical points

(b) Relative minima:

(c) Vertical tangent at x

if f' (a) is undefined

(d) Point of inflection at x = a, if f"(a) = 0 and f"(x) changes sign as x increases through x = a.

5.

Rising and falling curves (a) f' (x) (b) f' (x)

6.

7.

>0 0

indicates where the graph is concave up

Zones (regions) of exclusion: The domain in which the graph of y = f (x) does not exist (i.e. y is undefmed) is an important consideration, because we don't have to worry about the graph in this interval. ~ Example: y = f(x) = V 9 - / The graph of this function is real if -3 ~ x ~ 3. It does not exist for lx I The curve IS the upper half of the circle x 2 + / = '3.

GRAPHS OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

3.

For sketching the graph of the polynomial function we need reasonably sufficient information, such as: The function y = f(x) is an even function if f(x)

a.

= f{-x).

The graph of an even function is symmetric about Y-:axis. b.

= f(x)

The function y

is odd if f{-x)

= -f(-x)

and the graph is

symmetric about the origin. The intersection of the curve y = f(x) with

the x-axis is given by y = 0 • This is not always simple, but worth trying.

In many cases, it is necessary to calculate volumes whose boundaries are not surf.1ces of revolution and hence the two formulas stated above can not be used. For example we cannot find the volume of a pyramid or a doughnut shaped solid by these two formulas.

CHAPTER 4 COMPLEX NUMBERS 4.1

Introduction - Necessity is the mother of invention.

Invented Number Systems: Complex Numbers Imagination and art of invention were required several times in extending our number system from the counting numbers.

1.

The first invented system J: the set of all integers as developed from the counting numbers. In this system we can solve equations such as x .:!:. 2 = O, in general x + b = 0, where b is any integer.

2.

The second invented system Q: the set of all rational numbers p/q as developed from the integers. In this system we can solve equations such as 2x - 3 = 0, in general ax + b = O, where a and b are rational numbers.

3.

The th1rd invented system R: the set of all real numbers x as developed from the rational numbers. In this system, we can solve not only the types 2 x + a = 0, ax + b = 0, but in addition all quadratic equations ax + bx + c = 0, 2 a ~ 0 and t:. = b - 4ac ~ 0. The roots are not real if 1:!. < 0. The simple 2 2 quadratic equation x + I = 0 or x + x + I = 0 is impossible to solve with the above mentioned three number systems. There is no real number that 2 satisfies the equation x + I = 0, since x = r-f does not exist· in the real number system R.

A new kind of number has to be invented to handle the roots which are not real. The [ i =

symbol

;-:II

is used with the understanding that

I

i

2

= -I

I

i is called

2 the imaginary number. The roots of x = -1 can now be written as 2 2 x = -1 = i -> x =- .:!:. i Again the roots of x 2 + 2x + 3 = 0 can be given as X= -

2

Iii

Now we come to the fourth invented system, the set of all complex numbers of the form

We shall use a single pronumeral z to define a complex number

x + iy, i.e. X+

iy

I

113

x is called the real part and y is called the imaginary part of the complex number z. It is important to note that the imaginary part of a complex number is not imaginary! It is i that is called the imaginary number. The history of imaginary numbers is very fascinating. The earlier mathematicians thought that such numbers had no practical use (hence the term 'imaginary'), yet complex numbers are of great importance in fields such as Electronics. A complex number can also be defined by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y), without ever mentioning the imaginary number i, but in this book we shall only work with the binary form z = x + iy. However, the computer requires the form (x, y) for multiplication of two complex numbers.

4.2

Operations with Complex Numbers

We have the following definitions: a + bi

c + di

if and only if a

=c

1.

Equality:

2..

Addition:

(a + bi) + (c + di)

3.

Multiplication:

(a + bi) (c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + be) i

=

and b

= d.

(a +c) + (b + d) i

By using these definitions, we can verify that the complex numbers satisfy all the laws of algebra and hence the complex numbers form a field (denoted by C).

=

3 - 5i, then x

= 3,

If x + iy

EXAMPLE: (2)

Find the sum of 2 + 3i and 3 + 2i

SOLUTION:

(2 + 3 i) + (3 + 2 i) = (2 + 3) i

EXAMPLE: (3)

Find the product of 2 + 5i and 3 + 6i

SOLUTION:

(2 + 5i) (3 + 6i)

=

y

= -5

EXAMPLE: (l)

5 + 5i

(2x3- 5x6) + (2x6 + 5x3)i

=-24

+

27i

If you ignore the definition of multiplication and expand (2 + 5 i) (3 + 6i), i.e.

6 + 15i + 12i + 30i

2

and put

i

2

= -1,

then the result is

-24 + 27i, and so you

now discover the secret of strange definitions!

Identity elements: By definition: and

(a + bi) + (0 + Oi)

=

(a + 0) + (b + O)i

=

a + bi

(a + b i) (1 + 0 i) = (a • 1 - b • 0) + (a • 0 + b • 1) i = a + b i

Thus, the complex number 0 + 0. i, written as z = 0, is the additive identity and 1 + 0. i written as z = 1, is the multiplicative identity for the set C of complex numbers.

114

Additive inverse: We define the additive inverse of the complex number a + ib to be a number x + iy such that: (a + bi) + (x + iy) = 0 + 0. i (a + x) + (b + y) i = 0 + 0 • i By definition of two equal complex numbers, we have: a + x = 0

and

b +y =0

giving

x = -a, y = -b

Hence the additive inverse of z = a + bi now find the difference: (subtraction)

-a - bi, i.e. -z. Using this, we can

is

(a+ bi)- (c + id) =(a+ bi) + (-c- di) =(a- c)+ (b- d)i. Multiplicative inverse: The multiplicative inverse of the complex number a + bi f. 0 is defined to be a number x + iy such that (a + bi) (x + i y) = l + 0. i. By definition of equality, and

ax - by = l bx + ay = 0

We solve these equations for x and y, then a b and y = - - - - , hence the multiplicative inverse of z = a + bi 2 2 2 2 a +b a +b a -b _1 is the complex number z-1 = [ ~· ~ • Note that z. z-1 = z I = I, z" 0. a +b a +b We can now divide a complex number z by aflother complex number w, but shall use a method used in ex. (6} .below, i.e. complex conjugates. We can easily verify that the complex numbers obey all the rules of Algebra and hence they form a complex field C. Further, if b = 0, then a + bi reduces to the real number a, hence the set of real numbers R is a subset of the complex numbers C. If a = 0, b f. 0, then a + bi reduces to bi, and we call bi a purely imaginary number. x =

J

·z:

Note that a real number can be written in the form a + bi, for example 2 = 2 + 0. i. Similarly a purely imaginary number such as 2i can also be written as 0 + 2i. Calculations with the complex numbers do not require any special rules; wherever i occurs we replace it by -1. Further, 4 2 4 5 3 2 i = -i, i = i x i = (-1) (-I} = 1, i = i • i = i etc.

2

Complex conjugates: If two complex numbers differ only in the sign of their imaginary parts, each is called the conjugate of the other. Thus a + b i and a - i b are the conjugate complex numbers. Notation is used for the conjugate of z, i.e. = a - ib. Since z + z = (a + bi) + (a - bi) = 2a, the sum of two conjugate complex numbers is a real number.

EXAMPLE: (4)

Find the sum and difference of

SOLUTION:

(3 + 2 i) + (3 - 2 i) = 6

and

3 + 2 i and

3 - 2i

(3 + 2 i) - (3 - 2 i) = 4 i

115

zz

2 2 Again the product = (a + bi) (a - bi) = a + b , hence the product of two conjugate complex numbers is a non-negative real number. (3 + 2 i) (3 - 2 i) = 9 + 4 = I 3

EXAMPLE: (5) QUOTIENT:

EXAMPLE: (23)

Find all the cube roots of

SOLUTION:

We use two methods to find the cube roots.

Method 1:

If z

-I, then

is a cube root of

3 2 z + 1 = 0, hence (z + 1) (z - z + 1) = 0

adding -l

(TT + 2kTT)

We write

Method II:

The three cube roots are

and make the expression general by

hence

••. ( l)

+ isin (TT + 2kTT)

Now let the required cube root be W'cos(TT + 2kTT)

R (cos~ + 1sin~)

+ isin(TT + 2kTT)

= R(cos~

+

isin~)

We take the cube of both sides:

R 3 (cos3~+ isin3~) =

cos(TT + 2kTT)

+ isin(TT + 2kTT)

Equating the real and imaginary parts:

R 3 cos3~

= cos(TT + 2kTT)

1,

From these: ~

i.e., R =

TT/3

sin ( 11 + 2kTT)

and and

3~

TT + 2kTT

+ 2kTT/3

Hence the cube roots are given by: z where

= k

(cos~+ isin~)

= 0,

1, 2.

=

cos(TT/3 + 2kTT/3) + isin(TT/3 + 2kTT/3)

128

For k = 3, the root for

the angle is n /3 + 2n and the corresponding cube-root is the same as k = 0. In a similar manner, k = 4 produces the same root as k = 1 1 3 and so on. The three cube roots of (-1) / are: 0,

These three roots are the same as given by Method I. The modulus of each root is I, hence these

three distinct cube-roots lie on a circle of radius I and centre the origin. They are equally spaced, the angular distance between any two roots being 360° + 3 = 120" Definition:

If

n is a positive integer, then R(cos\6 + isin\6) is an nth root of

r(cosa + isina) if and only if Rn(cos\6 + isin\6)n = r(cosa + isina) From this, and using De Moivre's theorem: 11

R (cosn16 + isinn\6) = r(cos a+ isina) rcosa = Rncosn\6

and

rsina = Rnsinn\6

By squaring and adding: Rn = r, hence cosa = cosn\6 gives n\6 = a + 2kn

0=

Hence R = r 1/n ,

where k = 0, 1, 2, •• • (n - I)

We conclude that the n nth roots of the complex number r(cosa + isina) have the 1/n . a + 2kn ) modulus r and arguments are g1ven by --n--' k = 0, I, 2, ••• (n - 1 •

De Moivre's Theorem and Its Applications

We have used De Moivre's theorem in finding the powers and the roots of complex numbers. We now prove it by the method of induction and consider some further applications. De Moivre's theorem is: For any integer n, (cos9 + isin9)n = cosn9 + isinn9 Proof:

For

n

= O,

For n = I,

(cos9 + isin9)

0

= I = cosO

••• (I)

+ isinO

cos9 + isin9 = cos9 + isin9

So the theorem is true for

n

=0

and n

= I.

We assume it true for n

=k, a

(cos9 + isin9)k = cosk9 + isink9

positive integer, so:

••• (2)

Multiply both sides of (2) by cos9 + isin9, then (cos9 + isin9)k+l = (cosk9 + isink9) (cos9 + isin9) = (cosk9cos9- sink9sin9)+ i(sink9 cose + icosk9sin9) = cos(k + I) 9 + isin(k + I) 9

This proves that the theorem is true for n = k + I, if it is true for n = k. Since it is true for n = I, then it is true for n = 2 and so on for all positive integers n. The theorem is also true when n is a negative integer. Let n = -m, where m is a positive integer. (cos e + i sine )n= (cos e + i sine fm = - - - - - - (cose + isin9)m by using the theorem for positive integer

cosm9 + isinm9

m.

I (cosm9- isinm9) cosme + isinm6 = (cosm9 + isinme) kosm9- isinm9)

Now Finally

cosme- isinm9 1

cosm9 - isinm9 = cos(-n9)- isin(-n9) = cosn9 + isinn9 •

Hence the theorem is true for negative integers. DERIVATION OF TRIGONOMETRIC FORMULA

cos n e and sin n 9 in terms of powers of sine and cos 9 •

4.11 Miscellaneous: Factorisation over the Complex Field 2 3 3 Consider the factorisation of z - 1 = 0 over C. z - 1 = (z - 1) (z + z + 1) 2 Now z + z + 1 has no real linear factors, but over C we can write z 2 + z + 1 = (z - a ) (z - 8 ) where a = -1 +2 t/3i , 8 = - 1 - 2/3i Thus it appears that we can factorise expressions of the form zn - 1, zn + 1 and (by extension) zn-l + zn- 2 + ••• + 1, into either: (a) real quadratic factors or (b) complex linear factors.

CHAPTER 5 POLYNOMIALS 5.1

Introduction

In 3U Mathematics, we learned many important properties of polynomials in the real variable x. In this chapter we shall study these properties and a few more theorems about polynomials over the complex field C. Let us first revise some of the important work on polynomials. The general nth degree polynomial function cf a real variable x is of the form: P ( x) " a x

When two or more polynomials are added, subtracted or multiplied, the result is another polynomial. The division of one polynomial P(x) by another polynomial A(x) may or may not be exact. When P(x) is div1ded by A(x), we can write the identity: P(x) where, P(x) Q(x) A(x) R (x)

" Q(x) . A(x) + R(x) is called the dividend, is called the quotient, is called the divisor, is called the remainder. ..

[deg R (x)

< deg

R (x) " 0, P(x) is exactly divisible by A (x), then Q(x) and factors of P(x).

If

A (x)] A (x) are called the

THE REMAINDER AND FACTOR THEOREMS

In the division of P(x) by A(x), if A(x) is a linear polynomial degree of R (x) must be zero, i.e. R (x) is a constant. We write:

x - a,

tht·n the

P(x) " (x - a) Q(x) + R Substitute x " a,

then

P(a) " 0 . Q(a) + R R " P(a) . So, the remainder theorem is: If P(x) is divided by (x - a), the remainder is P(a). Further, it P(a) " 0, then x - a is a factor of P(x), and conversely, if x - a 1s a factor of P(x) then P(a) " 0. The result is known as the factor theorem. A value of x, such that P(x) " 0, IS called a ZERO of the polynomial P(x) or a root of equation P(x) = 0. For example, x = 2 is a zero of 3 P(x) = x - 8.

If we only want the remainder, we use:

R = P(2) = 16- 12- 8- 6 = -10 The remainder is -10. We can write 2 P(x) = (x - 2) (2x + x - 2) -10

- 2x - 6 - 2x + 4

This is because some, or even aJJ the zeros of a polynomial may not be integers, 2 e.g. x + 2 = 0 has no real zeros, let alone integer ones.

- 3x - 6

SOLUTION: Since P(x) is monic, the integral zeros must be the factors of the constant term -6. All the possible factors are .!: I, .:!::2, .!: 3, .!: 6. We find that only x = -2 satisfies P(x) = 0, so -2 is a zero of P(x). P(x) is of degree 3 and therefore has 3 zeros. The other two zeros must be irrational or complex. To find these, we divide P(x) by X + 2. 2 :. P(x) = (x + 2) (x - 3) Hence the zeros of P(x) are: -2, .!: Vf. It is possible that EXAMPLE:

P(x) has no integral zeros, as the following example shows.

- 2x + 6 has no rational zeros.

SOLUTION: All the possible factors of 6 are: .!: 1, .:!:: 2, .!: 3, .!: 6. None of these numbers satisfy P(x) = 0, hence P(x) has no integral zeros. Since a fourth degree polynomial must have 4 zeros (see section 5.3, theorem 3), we conclude that the zeros of P(x) are either irrational or complex. EXAMPLE:

Find all the roots of

SOLUTION: 2 3 Let P(x) = 5x + 28x + lOx - 3 = 0. To make our work easier, we transform this equation so that the leading term has a coefficient equal to I. 3 Observing that the coefficient of x is 5, we multiply the equation by 25 and then put y = 5x. (5x) Or y

CHAPTER 7 ELEMENTARY PARTICLE

DYNAMICS 7.1

Introduction

Dynamics is the branch of Mechanics (Physics) that deals with the conditions under which bodies move. The other branch of mechanics is called STATICS, which deals with bodies at rest or under equilibrium under the action of some forces. Two branches of Dynamics are called: 1.

KINETICS: Kinetics is the study of effects produced by forces acting on the bOdies in motion.

2.

KINEMATICS: This deals with the motion of the body without regard to the cause, effect or result of the motion. So far in our work, we have done just that, i.e. the motion of a particle in straight line, the motion of a projectile, the SHM etc. We discussed the motion in terms of the position, velocity, time, acceleration. It did not matter which forces caused this motion.

We shall now introduce "the elements of KINETICS" which relate the forces with the motion of the body. This not only enhances our knowledge of the subject, but we can now solve a wide variety of motion problems, such as the motion in a RESISTING medium, the motion in a circle etc. Remembering that the 4- Unit Mathematics syllabus requires us to study not only the harder new topics, but also 3U-Maths harCier motion problems, we shall first completely summarize the previous work, then revtse with harder 3U problems, and then extend to the required new topics.

7.2

Laws of Motion - Force

In everyday life we use force to pull or push an object. In this chapter we study the cause-effect relation between the observed motion and the system of forces. Newton (1642-1727), one of the most famous and greatest scientists, formulated laws of motion after studying the motion problems which involve application of natural (gravitational) or mechanical (push, pull, friction) forces. Newton's First Law of Motion. (Inertia) A body remains in a state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straiRht line (a constant velocity, no external force) in the absence of a force.

235

A force is an invisible entity, it is recognised only by its effect, so it is a CONCEPT. A heavier object requires a greater force to move than a lighter object, hence we say a heavier object has greater inertia. The First Law introduces us to the idea of a Force and mass (inertia), i.e. the definition of what is a force. Newton's Second Law of Motion This law relates the change in velocity i.e. acceleration with the magnitude of the force that produced the motion. It states that: A force acting on a body produces an acceleration which is proportional to the magnitude of the force and this acceleration is in the direction of the force. The mathematical form of the second law is: Force Mass x Acceleration F = m a The mass m is a measure of the amount of material and hence the inertia of the body. In the Sl units: Mass is in kilograms (kg) Acceleration is in m.s- 2 Thus a force of 1 N acts on an object of mass of 1 kg, the object accelerates by 1 m.s-2•

Mass and Weight of a Body The weight is the force acting on an object of mass m, due to gravity. The value of g, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m.s- 2 (at earth's surface). Weight = m x g W (newtons) = m(kg) x g (m.s- 2) A weight of 1 kg is equal to 9.8 N. Never confuse the weight with the mass. Weight is a force and hence a vector, but mass is a scalar quantity.

236

Newton's Third Law of Motion: This law states that the force exerted by one body on another body i.e. action force, is equal to the force exerted by the second body on the first, the ·reaction force, and they are opposite in direction. N

When you kick a f.oot ball, you are applying a force on the foot ball, and at the same time, the ball's reaction applies an equal force to your foot, it hurts!

mg Fig. I

A body of mass m lying on a horizontal smooth surface is pressing the table with a downward force of its weight, but at the same time the equal and opposite force N acts on the body. This force is the reaction in the direction at right angles to the surface.

EXAMPLE 1: A body of mass 10 kg is suspended by a string from a ceiling. Find the tension in the string.

SOLUTION: You need not show the entire system, only the forces acting on the particle.

T

The two forces acting on the particle are the tension T, upwards and the gravitational force mg , downwards.

We use Newton's second law: mg

The resultant force = mass x acceleration.

Fig. 2

T - mg = m x O, because the system is at rest, hence, acceleration = 0 T = mg

EXAMPLE 2:

A particle of mass 20 kg is suspended by two strings. Calculate the tensions in the strings, shown in the diagram. (Acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m.s-2). SOLUTION: y

The forces acting on the particle P are the two tensions T and T 1 2 and the gravitational force mg.

Fig. 3

We select the rectangular coordinate system at P and decompose (resolve) the system of forces into the horizontal components Fx and the vertical components, F Y l:Fx = T 1 cos 4.5° - T2 cos 60° lF y = T 1 sin 4.5° + T2 sin 60° - mg The upward components are considered positive and downward components negative. Since there is no acceleration in any direction, we have: l:Fx

0 and lFY

=

0

T l cos 4.5° - T2 cos 60° = 0

and

T 1 sin 4.5° + T2 sin 60° - mg = 0 Remembering, cos 4.5° = sin 4.5°, subtract (1) from (2) T (sin 60° + cos 60°) = mg 2 substitute m = 20, g = 10 T2

Resisted Motion: Other Laws of Motion

In our previous studies of motion, we neglected the effect of air-resistance or air-

friction. A body moving in a fluid experiences a resistance which tends to stop the motion. In many cases of motion, the resistance is an important consideration. Cars, planes and boats are streamlined so as to reduce the frictional drag and improve fuel economy. The air or fluid resistance on an object depends on its: (i) shape

(ii) size (exposed area)

(iii) speed.

For example, a sky-diver with an unopened parachute falls quite rapidly, but the descent is slowed when the parachute opens. The parachute encounters greater resistance due to its shape and size. A sky-diver can enjoy a free fall (without an open parachute) by employing a spread-eagle position to increase the air resistance and prolong the time of fall. Air or fluid resistance also depends on the speed of the object. The greater the speed, the greater the air resistance. We shall mostly be concerned with motion for which the resistance is proportional to the speed v or v 2• Contrary to our perception of resistance, it is quite beneficial to us. Actually it is the road friction that makes car driving possible! Sky-diving is pleasant and possible because the air-resistance helps to slow the descent. Though streamlined cars cost more, they are at least pleasing to our eyes, if not to our purse! EXAMPLE : (1)

A particle of mass m moves along the x-axis. It experiences a resistive force R given by R = kv, where k is a constant and v is the velocity at any time t and position x. Discuss the motion. SOLUTION: (x,t,v) p

[Have you ever wondered how a team of sky-divers frolic (in the sky) with their parachutes not open! From above· you see that a sky-diver should enjoy a free fall until his weight balances the resistive force, thereafter his parachute must open, and with good luck the diver should then enjoy his fall with the reduced terminal velocity. Terminal velocity before the parachute opens is about 200 km/h and it is 40 km/h after the parachute opens.] Further

CHAPTER 9 CIRCULAR MOTION 9.1

Introduction

The study of circular motion is of great importance in science and engineering. The orbit of the earth around the sun, or the moon around the earth, can be considered circular for practical calculations. The safe speed on a circular section of a highway or railway track is governed by the laws of circular motion. We shall also study the problems related to circular motion, such as conical pendulum and banked tracks. In solving the motion problems, we often require resolution of the forces in two perpendicular directions OX and OY. These directions need not always be the horizontal and the vertical. Study the following examples of two resolved parts of the force F.

Linear acceleration of a particle is given by a = dt 2 in m.s

When a point moves on a curve, we talk about its angular velocity, i.e. the rate of change of its angular displacement, as defined below. ANGULAR VELOCITY of a point about a given point Let 0 be the given point, and OX a line through 0 of fixed direction. Suppose P moves in the plane containing OX and LPOX = 9 at any time t. The anticlockwise rotation is considered positive and the clockwise rotation negative. The angular velocity w (omega) of the moving point P about 0 is defined as the rate of change of 9, i.e. X

Fig. 4

The unit of angular velocity is the radian/s and is abbreviated as rad/s. Angular velocity is a vector and when the direction is not significant we speak of angular speed. It must be remembered that as defined above w is a variable, i.e. a function of t. In most of our applications in circular motion, w is a constant, i.e. a uniform angular velocity. In a later section, we shall talk about the angular acceleration of a point, about a given point.

267 EXAMPLE: (I)

A point P moves on a circle with uniform angular velocity of

j

rad/s. Show the

positions of P for t = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. What is the time taken by the point P to describe the circle once completely? ll 3 = 60° .

Circular Motion: Tangential Velocity

Suppose a particle moves in a circle of radius r (anticlockwise) and sweeps out angle 9 in time t. Let it describe a small arc

PQ in time 8t.

arc PQ = r x 89 Then v,

the tangential velocity at P is given by:

d d d9 v = dt (arcPQ)=dt (r.89)=rdt asllt~O d9 Now the angular velocity is w = dt , hence: Fig. 6 ••. (l)

The angular velocity w is usually defined in radians per second, but if the radius of the orbit is extremely large as in planetary motion, w may be defined in radians per hour or a day or even a year. It should be remembered that w is a variable in formula (1), but most of our work deals with the constant angular velocity and hence constant tangential velocity. In that case; at time t, 9 1 9

the statement is also true for n :: 3, and so on, the
