Homework Statement



I'm preparing for my first year university physics exam and was wondering if the PF community could give me some 'more difficult' problems that I could work on. If you could can the problems involve combinations of topics (ex. relative motion, kinematics, dynamics, rotation, projectile motion, momentum, statics in 1 or 2 problems). They don't have to involve all of the topics in each question just preferably have more than 1. Also could you keep the questions to all variables as numbers can make the problems tedious and they won't appear on the exam anyways. Thank you.

Homework Equations


L_i = L_f (conservation of angular momentum
L=Iω τ=Iα
τ=rxF or τ=rFsin∅
a=αR
ΔK =.5I(ω^2)_f-.5I(ω^2)_i=W ETC.


The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Use the 'Search' feature at the top of this page and advance search under Intro Physics Homework Help using keywords as appropriate and you'll find loads of problems and help with their solutions to boot. Best source on the Net!

Welcome to PF, and give my best wishes to Luke and the the Princess.
 
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...
