Rolling is a type of motion that combines rotation (commonly, of an axially symmetric object) and translation of that object with respect to a surface (either one or the other moves), such that, if ideal conditions exist, the two are in contact with each other without sliding .
97-408: Rolling where there is no sliding is referred to as pure rolling . By definition, there is no sliding when there is a frame of reference in which all points of contact on the rolling object have the same velocity as their counterparts on the surface on which the object rolls; in particular, for a frame of reference in which the rolling plane is at rest (see animation), the instantaneous velocity of all

According to this view, a frame is an observer plus a coordinate lattice constructed to be an orthonormal right-handed set of spacelike vectors perpendicular to a timelike vector. See Doran.

6693-1857: The graph of a function z = f ( x , y ) , {\displaystyle z=f(x,y),} an upward-pointing normal can be found either from the parametrization r ( x , y ) = ( x , y , f ( x , y ) ) , {\displaystyle \mathbf {r} (x,y)=(x,y,f(x,y)),} giving n = ∂ r ∂ x × ∂ r ∂ y = ( 1 , 0 , ∂ f ∂ x ) × ( 0 , 1 , ∂ f ∂ y ) = ( − ∂ f ∂ x , − ∂ f ∂ y , 1 ) ; {\displaystyle \mathbf {n} ={\frac {\partial \mathbf {r} }{\partial x}}\times {\frac {\partial \mathbf {r} }{\partial y}}=\left(1,0,{\tfrac {\partial f}{\partial x}}\right)\times \left(0,1,{\tfrac {\partial f}{\partial y}}\right)=\left(-{\tfrac {\partial f}{\partial x}},-{\tfrac {\partial f}{\partial y}},1\right);} or more simply from its implicit form F ( x , y , z ) = z − f ( x , y ) = 0 , {\displaystyle F(x,y,z)=z-f(x,y)=0,} giving n = ∇ F ( x , y , z ) = ( − ∂ f ∂ x , − ∂ f ∂ y , 1 ) . {\displaystyle \mathbf {n} =\nabla F(x,y,z)=\left(-{\tfrac {\partial f}{\partial x}},-{\tfrac {\partial f}{\partial y}},1\right).} Since
6790-1038: The inverse transpose of the linear transformation when transforming surface normals. The inverse transpose is equal to the original matrix if the matrix is orthonormal, that is, purely rotational with no scaling or shearing. For an ( n − 1 ) {\displaystyle (n-1)} -dimensional hyperplane in n {\displaystyle n} -dimensional space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} given by its parametric representation r ( t 1 , … , t n − 1 ) = p 0 + t 1 p 1 + ⋯ + t n − 1 p n − 1 , {\displaystyle \mathbf {r} \left(t_{1},\ldots ,t_{n-1}\right)=\mathbf {p} _{0}+t_{1}\mathbf {p} _{1}+\cdots +t_{n-1}\mathbf {p} _{n-1},} where p 0 {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} _{0}}
6887-408: The kinetic energy associated with simple rolling K rolling = K translation + K rotation {\displaystyle K_{\text{rolling}}=K_{\text{translation}}+K_{\text{rotation}}} Let r {\displaystyle r} be the distance between the center of mass and the point of contact; when the surface is flat, this is the radius of
6984-464: The last equality the denominator is the same as in the formula for force, but the factor m {\displaystyle m} disappears because its instance in the force of gravity cancels with its instance due to Newton's third law. r g / r {\displaystyle {r_{\text{g}}}/{r}} is specific to the object shape and mass distribution, it does not depend on scale or density. However, it will vary if
7081-542: The latest equality above in the first formula for F net {\displaystyle F_{\text{net}}} the second formula for it: F net = F external 1 + ( r g / r ) 2 {\displaystyle F_{\text{net}}={\frac {F_{\text{external}}}{1+\left({r_{\text{g}}}/{r}\right)^{2}}}} I r 2 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {I}{r^{2}}}} has dimension of mass, and it
7178-458: The normal vector space at a point is the vector space generated by the normal vectors of the hypersurfaces at the point. The normal (affine) space at a point P {\displaystyle P} of the variety is the affine subspace passing through P {\displaystyle P} and generated by the normal vector space at P . {\displaystyle P.} These definitions may be extended verbatim to
7275-415: The object actual mass and it is equal to ( r g / r ) 2 {\textstyle \left({r_{\text{g}}}/{r}\right)^{2}} where r g {\displaystyle r_{\text{g}}} is the radius of gyration corresponding to the object rotational inertia in pure rotation (not the rotational inertia in pure rolling). The square power
7372-468: The object around its widest cross section. Since the center of mass has an immediate velocity as if it was rotating around the point of contact, its velocity is v c.o.m. = r ω {\displaystyle v_{\text{c.o.m.}}=r\omega } . Due to symmetry, the object center of mass is a point in its axis. Let I rotation {\displaystyle I_{\text{rotation}}} be inertia of pure rotation around
7469-478: The object is made to roll with different radiuses; for instance, it varies between a train wheel set rolling normally (by its tire), and by its axle. It follows that given a reference rolling object, another object bigger or with different density will roll with the same acceleration. This behavior is the same as that of an object in free fall or an object sliding without friction (instead of rolling) down an inclined plane. When an axisymmetric deformable body contacts
7566-417: The object, both a net force and a torque are required. When external force with no torque acts on the rolling object‐surface system, there will be a tangential force at the point of contact between the surface and rolling object that provides the required torque as long as the motion is pure rolling; this force is usually static friction , for example, between the road and a wheel or between a bowling lane and
7663-412: The obvious ambiguities of Einstein’s treatment, the notion of frame of reference has reappeared as a structure distinct from a coordinate system. Normal (geometry) In geometry , a normal is an object (e.g. a line , ray , or vector ) that is perpendicular to a given object. For example, the normal line to a plane curve at a given point is the line perpendicular to the tangent line to
7760-451: The other hand, a coordinate system may be employed for many purposes where the state of motion is not the primary concern. For example, a coordinate system may be adopted to take advantage of the symmetry of a system. In a still broader perspective, the formulation of many problems in physics employs generalized coordinates , normal modes or eigenvectors , which are only indirectly related to space and time. It seems useful to divorce
7857-403: The outer ring may be attached to a fixed support bracket, allowing the inner ring to support an axle, allowing for rotational freedom of an axle . The amount of friction on the mechanism's parts depends on the quality of the ball bearings and how much lubrication is in the mechanism. Rolling objects are also frequently used as tools for transportation . One of the most basic ways is by placing
7954-531: The plane, a normal to the plane is a vector normal to both p {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} } and q , {\displaystyle \mathbf {q} ,} which can be found as the cross product n = p × q . {\displaystyle \mathbf {n} =\mathbf {p} \times \mathbf {q} .} If a (possibly non-flat) surface S {\displaystyle S} in 3D space R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}}
8051-401: The points of contact (for instance, a generating line segment of a cylinder) of the rolling object is zero. In practice, due to small deformations near the contact area, some sliding and energy dissipation occurs. Nevertheless, the resulting rolling resistance is much lower than sliding friction , and thus, rolling objects typically require much less energy to be moved than sliding ones. As
8148-396: The points where the variety is not a manifold. Let V be the variety defined in the 3-dimensional space by the equations x y = 0 , z = 0. {\displaystyle x\,y=0,\quad z=0.} This variety is the union of the x {\displaystyle x} -axis and the y {\displaystyle y} -axis. At a point (
8245-599: The relation between linear and angular velocity , v c.o.m. = r ω {\displaystyle v_{\text{c.o.m.}}=r\omega } , with respect to time gives a formula relating linear and angular acceleration a = r α {\displaystyle a=r\alpha } . Applying Newton's second law : a = F net m = r α = r τ I . {\displaystyle a={\frac {F_{\text{net}}}{m}}=r\alpha ={\frac {r\tau }{I}}.} It follows that to accelerate
8342-626: The relationship between a moving observer and the phenomenon under observation. In this context, the term often becomes observational frame of reference (or observational reference frame ), which implies that the observer is at rest in the frame, although not necessarily located at its origin . A relativistic reference frame includes (or implies) the coordinate time , which does not equate across different reference frames moving relatively to each other. The situation thus differs from Galilean relativity , in which all possible coordinate times are essentially equivalent. The need to distinguish between
8439-430: The rolling object farther from the axis than the point of contact will temporarily move opposite to the direction of the overall motion when it is below the level of the rolling surface (for example, any point in the part of the flange of a train wheel that is below the rail). Since kinetic energy is entirely a function of an object mass and velocity, the above result may be used with the parallel axis theorem to obtain
8536-440: The rows of the Jacobian matrix are ( 0 , 0 , 1 ) {\displaystyle (0,0,1)} and ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) . {\displaystyle (0,0,0).} Thus the normal vector space and the normal affine space have dimension 1 and the normal affine space is the z {\displaystyle z} -axis. The normal ray is the outward-pointing ray perpendicular to
8633-467: The same coordinate transformation on the components of intrinsic objects (vectors and tensors) introduced to represent physical quantities in this frame . and this on the utility of separating the notions of R {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {R}}} and [ R , R′ , etc. ]: As noted by Brillouin, a distinction between mathematical sets of coordinates and physical frames of reference must be made. The ignorance of such distinction
8730-484: The scale of their observations, as in macroscopic and microscopic frames of reference . In this article, the term observational frame of reference is used when emphasis is upon the state of motion rather than upon the coordinate choice or the character of the observations or observational apparatus. In this sense, an observational frame of reference allows study of the effect of motion upon an entire family of coordinate systems that could be attached to this frame. On

9312-416: The various aspects of a reference frame for the discussion below. We therefore take observational frames of reference, coordinate systems, and observational equipment as independent concepts, separated as below: Although the term "coordinate system" is often used (particularly by physicists) in a nontechnical sense, the term "coordinate system" does have a precise meaning in mathematics, and sometimes that
9409-542: The various meanings of "frame of reference" has led to a variety of terms. For example, sometimes the type of coordinate system is attached as a modifier, as in Cartesian frame of reference . Sometimes the state of motion is emphasized, as in rotating frame of reference . Sometimes the way it transforms to frames considered as related is emphasized as in Galilean frame of reference . Sometimes frames are distinguished by
