    Conservation of linear momentum and rotational motion

    Plz see the screenshot attached. How did linear momentum of the ball converted into angular momentum of the rotating road. I hope I've clarified my question.

    Conservation of linear momentum and rotational motion

    We can include the external force within the system by suitably expanding it. Imagine collision case, a ball hitting the door makes one system on which there are no external force. Didnt get that. If originally there were no momentum in y direction from where the momentum in y direction comes...

    Conservation of linear momentum and rotational motion

    When you open a door you apply force in any particular direction and as a result you get rotational motion of the door. My question is how linear momentum is conserved in this case as linear momentum seems to have generated rotational motion? To clarify my question further, if we fix a rod from...

    Electric potential at the center of a dipole

    Oh...got it. Thanks a lot, i was stuck with it for quite some time.

    Electric potential at the center of a dipole

    Potential at the center of an electric dipole is zero. This doesn't make intuitive sense, how can work required to bring an arbitrary charge from infinity to the center of a dipole be zero? Imagine a charge at some distance on horizontal bisector of the dipole, it will deflect from the...
