Combine conservation of mechanical energy with the work-ener

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the horizontal distance a skier travels before coming to rest on an incline with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.210 and an angle of 20.0°. Participants are encouraged to identify relevant equations related to conservation of mechanical energy and work-energy principles. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clearly outlining the problem-solving process and sharing initial thoughts or calculations. Contributors are prompted to provide their reasoning and any challenges faced in the solution. The goal is to effectively combine energy conservation concepts with frictional work to arrive at the answer.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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 hanged 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...
