Finding x and y components of a magnitude

AI Thread Summary
To find the x and y components of a vector with a magnitude of 1.96 N directed upwards, the y-component is indeed equal to 1.96 N, while the x-component is 0 N. This conclusion is based on the vector's direction being aligned with the vertical axis, which corresponds to a 90-degree angle. The relationship between magnitude, mass, and gravity is acknowledged but not directly applied in this scenario. The assumptions made about the components are confirmed to be correct.

Homework Statement


I basically want to find the x and y component of a given magnitude of 1.96 N. I am given some other information such as mass and direction. Since the direction of the vector b is upwards, towards the 90-degree direction, then the y-component will also be equal to the magnitude of 1.96 N? Thus, x-component will be 0 N? Are my assumptions 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...
