2 questions from rolling motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on difficulties in applying the equations F=ma and T=Iw to problems involving rolling motion with friction. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the type of friction between the rolling ball and the surface. They suggest that knowing the mass of the ball and the coefficient of friction is crucial for calculating force and torque. The original poster struggles to balance the equations despite this guidance. The thread ultimately closes due to non-compliance with forum rules for schoolwork posts.

The problem I am facing is that on a straight line friction is there and I can't balance it. Using F=ma and T=Iw doesn't work.

Knowing the mass of the ball and the coefficient of friction you know the force of friction, so you know what to put for Force and Torque. And don't forget that the ball is not constrained, so it gets torque and linear acceleration.
 
Welcome to PF;
The trick is to realize what kind of friction is between the rolling ball and the plank.
Otherwise as above.

But that's the problem I can't from those equations

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
