Accelaration Angle Force Motion Motion in 1d Motion in 2d Net Net force Newton's second law

AI Thread Summary

To determine the acceleration in two-dimensional motion, the horizontal component of the net force is divided by the mass. The calculated value of 0.4 m s^-2 is confirmed as correct. The discussion emphasizes the importance of resolving forces into components for accurate calculations. Overall, the method used to find acceleration from net force is validated. This approach is essential for understanding two-dimensional motion dynamics.

My solution was to find the horizontal component of the net force and divide that by the mass. Am I right?

Thank you for your reply. I also got a value of 0.4 m s^-2, is that also correct?

Yes, it is.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
