    Get Physics Help on I Love Physics Forums - Thanks PF!

    I have to admit, I am currently in Honors Physics 2, And on my first test on momentum and impulse I got a D+, yes my first ever, its rough, but I wll try my hardest from now on and I will always ask questions here first! The amount of people willing to help on this site is awesome, I for each...

    ANother Fun conceptual question to figure out

    Explain why a point on the rim of a tire has an acceleration when the tire is on a car that is moving at a constant linear velocity :cry: :smile: :mad: :rolleyes: :approve:

    Conceptual Question (Rotational Kinematics)

    A thin rod rotates at a constant angular spped. COnsider the tangential spped of each point on the rod for the case when the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the rod (a) at its center and (b) at one end. Explain for each case whether there are any points on the rod that have the same...

    Is Using a Catapult on an Asteroid a Viable Propulsion Method?

    1. ON a distant asteroid, a large catapult is used to "throw" chunks of stone into space. COuld such a device be used as a propulsion system to move the asteroid closer to earth? (need help in terms of momentum,impulse, and all that)

    Can Dimensional Analysis Determine the Exponent N in y=c^nat^2?

    In the equation y=c^nat^2, in other words... Y equals C to the N power times A times T to the second power, you wish to determine the integer value (1,2,etc.) of the exponent N. The dimensions of Y,A,and T are known. It is also known that C has no dimensions. Can dimensional analysis be used to...
