Angular acceleration without rotation?

AI Thread Summary
Rod BD is fixed at collar C, which implies it is not rotating, leading to confusion about the relevance of angular acceleration. The discussion clarifies that since the rod is sliding through the collar, it does have degrees of freedom, allowing for rotation. The collar's ability to rotate at point C adds complexity to the kinematics involved. Ultimately, the conclusion is reached that the rod is indeed rotating, affirming the need to consider angular acceleration in this context. Understanding the dynamics of the system requires recognizing the interplay between fixed points and relative motion.

If rod BD is fixed at collar C, it is not rotating, correct? Why is the angular acceleration being asked if it's not rotating?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It's not fixed at collar C, it's sliding through it. It if were fixed, there would be 0 degrees of freedom, and OB could not be rotating.
 
it also looks like the collar can rotate at point C
 
This is also a kinematics problem, not an introductory physics problem, and involves using relative velocities.
 
Nevermind, it is rotating. Thanks!
 
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...
