Hey, I was wondering if anyone could give me an in-depth conceptual explanation of the spin property of particles, or point me to wherever I could find one. Thanks!
yes
yes, I can proceed with the ring approach, and actually some friends I know are going to be doing double integrals second semester, but since I'm not in calc I don't have to worry about them. :smile:
--My friend says "He's an idiot!. He's taking AP physics without taking calc"--...
Also, when I tried to accomplish this on my own, I attempted to think of it not as a union of concentric rings, but as a union of pie-piece-shaped wedges. This didn't work, but it did get me the moment of inertia equation for a ring. :smile: At least I got somewhere, even if it wasn't where I...
Thanks for the help
thank you for all of the help. to tell the truth, I don't really understand any of it just reading it through, I'm going to have to print it out and look at it, but having the right answer will help me greatly in understanding why.
I have a question of the last post...
I figured out the mathematical symbols! :smile:
\int \ r^{2} \ dm
This is what my book tells me to start with as the generic moment of inertia equation and then to substitute for dm.
I'm in AP physics because I was really bored in acc physics, but I'm not actually in calculus, so I may ask you to explain basic concepts further if I have not yet had the chance to figure them out for myself.
I was wondering about the equation for the moment of inertia of a uniform disc...
