AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating various aspects of a bob rotating in a vertical circle. The acceleration vector at a specific point is given as (-2i + 3j) m/s², prompting the need to sketch it and determine its magnitude. Participants are tasked with finding both tangential and radial acceleration, as well as the velocity and speed of the bob at that instant. Additionally, the discussion seeks to clarify whether the speed of the bob is increasing or decreasing at that point. Overall, the thread emphasizes understanding the dynamics of circular motion and the implications of acceleration components.

a general physics q please help!

A bob rotates clockwise in a vertical circle at the end of a 1 m long rope. In the pint, where the rope makes the horizontal to the right, the acceleration of the bob is (-2i+3j)m/s^2. At that instant
-sketch the acceleration vector and find its magnitude,
-find tangential and radial acceleration,
-find velocity and speed of the ball
-is the speed increasing or decreasing in this point?

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...
