Yes I agree with the second sentence of yours. It is the first that is more interesting. Let me write it again, despite being...

Thank you, and a bit silly on my part. My derivation up there in post#1 remains the same even if the the angular velocity vector...

Space. So if the angular velocity of the body varies with time, say ##\vec\omega(t)##, I have the following two questions. The first...

Attempt : I draw the diagram of the problem to the right. A circular plate of radius ##a## rotates with an angular velocity ##\vec\omega...

I don't understand what symmetry really means. I am going by what I suspect.

Text excerpt : For context, I copy and paste the paragraph on "symmetry" from the text, underlining the relevant lines in red. I hope...

As I have found out only recently, and I confess I should have done so a lot earlier, it is best not to think of electricity as the flow...

Thank you and apologies. A silly error on my part. Something else if I may. There's an agreement to take the conventional flow of...

I don't see how. The RHR (Right Hand Rule) mind you. The magnetic field is from left to right. Charge is moving down. Hence force...

Positive.

Situation : I have drawn the image to the right. A current ##I## flows "down" along a wire in a magnetic field ##\vec B## directed to...

I have solved the problem I mentioned in post #1 at the top, which was about the direction of coriolis deflection of a rocket fired "up"...

Brilliantly explained. Thank you and sorry for the delay in responding.

I should reply to you later when time and the advantage of having done some mathematics first permits. For the case is involved. The...

Due to the coriolis force, the particle acquires a velocity due east (along X) on its way up. For a place in the northern hemisphere...
