AI Thread Summary
To find the average period of oscillation, divide the total time of 4.56 seconds by the number of oscillations, which is 10. This calculation yields an average period of 0.456 seconds per oscillation. The approach of dividing the total time by the number of oscillations is correct. There is no need for overthinking; the solution is straightforward. The average period is confirmed as 0.456 seconds.

Homework Statement


I am given the total time of 4.56s per 10 oscillations but I need to find the average period from this. I feel like I am overthinking this.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


All I did was divide the time by 10 would that be right?

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...
