AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a quadratic equation, specifically 36 = 49s^2. Participants clarify that the equation can be rearranged to the standard form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 by moving 36 to the other side, resulting in 49s^2 - 36 = 0. The original poster expresses initial confusion but acknowledges understanding after revisiting the problem. The exchange highlights the importance of breaking down quadratic equations for clarity. Overall, the conversation emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in math.

Not getting this question. SHould be easy. Got the rest of the assignment..

36=49s^squared...

it's a quadratic equation.. supposed to solve from the form of ax^squared plus bx plus c equals zero...

need help.

just move the 36 to the other side, so the answer is 49s^2-36
 
...

haha... I'm a little slow. it just took me a little while of going over the question again and again. thanks for the help.
 
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...
