Classical mechanics changing mass

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the topic of changing mass in classical mechanics, specifically focusing on the challenges faced by a student in understanding this concept and creating their own equations. The conversation includes requests for learning materials and resources related to classical mechanics.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • A student expresses difficulty with the concept of changing mass in classical mechanics and seeks help in creating equations.
  • Another participant asks for clarification on what is meant by "changing mass materiel" and requests an example problem.
  • The student provides a link to a Wikipedia article on variable-mass systems as a reference.
  • A participant suggests that if the student's materials are in another language, they may need to find English versions or translate them for the forum's discussions.
  • The student confirms they are looking for English materials only.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not present a consensus, as participants are clarifying terms and seeking additional information rather than agreeing on specific concepts or solutions.

Contextual Notes

The initial request lacks specific examples or detailed context regarding the student's challenges with changing mass, which may limit the ability to provide targeted assistance.

hey there, i need your help, I am a student in physics and electricity engineering, and i have a bit of a problem with the changing mass materiel, well in first look he's pretty easy but i want to learn how to create my own equations and I am never getting the same result.

so ill be glad if someone have any good material to read about this subject, and if anyone have tips, learning material for Classical mechanics course ill be glad, ill just mention this test getting like 70% F ,so any tips will be great:) thank you all' and I am sorry for my lame english.:)

What courses are you taking now?

The phrase "changing mass materiel" is unfamiliar. Can you give an example of problem involving this?

For the class materials that you are talking about, if they are books then perhaps there's an English version that people here are familiar with. If it's class notes then you'll have to translate them because our forum deals strictly in English as there are many posters here from many nations contributing with English as the common ground for posts.
 
i forgot to put the link , sorry for the confusion. if i wasnt clear enough (sorry) I am looking only for english materials.
thx
