Body Diagrams Drawing Free body Free body diagrams

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on drawing free body diagrams for a physics problem involving a block with a mass of 25 kg, experiencing a constant acceleration of 2 m/s² and a frictional force of 75 N. Participants are asked to assist in visualizing the forces acting on the block, including the normal force and gravitational force. The importance of accurately representing these forces in the diagram is emphasized to solve the problem effectively. The conversation centers on clarifying how to depict these forces correctly. Understanding free body diagrams is crucial for analyzing motion and forces in physics.

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 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
