    Momentum Vector
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the angular momentum vector L, the equation L = mv X r is used, where m represents mass. The user is unsure of the value of m and is advised to leave it as a variable in the final answer. There is a discussion about the timing of the post affecting response rates, suggesting that posting during peak hours could yield quicker assistance. Additionally, it's noted that the question may not belong in the "Advanced Physics" forum. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of including mass in calculations and the need for appropriate forum engagement.

Homework Statement



calculate the angular momentum vector L

Homework Equations



r = rr(hat) r=√(xsquared + y squared) r(hat) = <cosθ, sinθ>
v = r(dot)r(hat) + rθ(dot)θ

The Attempt at a Solution


L = mv X r

I don't know m, how can i calcuate L? please help me

yes, you do need m!

so just call it "m", and leave it in the answer :wink:
 
i am waiting for the help people...checking it every hour but no body answers it
 
tiny-tim answered you already!

What more do you need?

And I really don't think this counts as "Advanced Physics". So, wrong forum?

posting it when the americans are about to go to bed, and the europeans are fast asleep :zzz:, isn't the best time, if you want a quick answer :wink:

(and posting it in the right forum would make it more likely that the right people see it)

btw, you don't need to keep checking … you should receive an email notification of each new post in any thread you've posted in :smile:
 
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 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
