Baseball and projectile motion problem

AI Thread Summary
The problem involves calculating the time a baseball is in the air when thrown at an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at a 33.0° angle. The horizontal component of the velocity is determined to be 12.6 m/s. To find the time of flight, the vertical motion must be analyzed using projectile motion equations, considering the initial vertical velocity and the effect of gravity. The solution requires applying kinematic equations to determine how long the ball remains airborne. This scenario exemplifies a common projectile motion problem in physics.

Homework Statement


A second baseman tosses the ball to the first baseman, who catches it at the same level from which it was thrown. The throw is made with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 33.0° above the horizontal. (Neglect air resistance.)
How long is the ball in the air?

Horizontal component=12.6 m/s

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...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
