Classical mechanics changing mass

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student seeking help with understanding changing mass in classical mechanics and creating their own equations. They express difficulty in achieving consistent results and are looking for English-language resources and tips to improve their performance, noting a recent low test score. Participants clarify the term "changing mass material" and suggest that the student provide specific examples for better assistance. A link to a Wikipedia article on variable-mass systems is shared, and the importance of using English materials is emphasized for effective communication. The student is encouraged to find English versions of their current materials or translate them for better understanding.

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
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
