AI Thread Summary
To find the coordinates of Point A on a disk after a specified time, the initial conditions include a radius R, an initial velocity v in the positive x-direction, and an angular velocity ω equal to v/2R. The motion of Point A can be expressed as a function of the center's velocity and ω. The discussion emphasizes the need to relate the motion of Point A to these variables for accurate calculations. Participants suggest starting with ω to simplify the problem. The goal is to derive the correct coordinates of Point A at t = 4piR/v.

Homework Statement



Adisk of radius R centred at the origin is placed on a frictionless x-y plane with origin as the centre of the disk.At t=0, the disk is given initial motion such that the point A(R,0) has velocity v towards
+ve x-axis and ω=v/2R. Find the coordinates of Point A at t= 4piR/v

Homework Equations



∅=ωt..That's all i think is needed

The Attempt at a Solution


i used but i am getting a wrong answer help!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Can you express the motion of A as functtion of the velocity of the center and ω?
Based on that, can you calculate this velocity and ω?
 
That's the problem..The velocity of A at t=0 is given..How can i relate to the centre of mass velocity..
 
I proposed to start with the other direction (use w,ω for the center and calculate the motion of A as function of those variables) for a good reason - it is easier.
Did you try to calculate it?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
