Calculating effects of air resistance on a falling mass

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the effects of air resistance on a 0.67kg ball dropped from 4.93m involves understanding the difference between theoretical free fall and real-world conditions. The initial calculations used the equation s=ut + 0.5at², which does not account for air resistance. A request for an equation that includes air resistance highlights the complexity of the problem. A shared lecture link provides additional resources for understanding these dynamics. Accurate modeling of air resistance is crucial for precise time calculations in falling objects.

Calculating effects of air resistance on a ball of mass 0.67kg, being dropped from a height of 4.93m.

I have worked out theoretically what time it would take without air resistance using
s=ut + 0.5at(squared) however i cannot find an equation that will factor in air resistance.

thanks

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...
