AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the momentum components (p_x, p_y, p_z) in particle physics using the equation p = qBx, where q is charge and B is magnetic field strength. The user has provided values for the cosine of angles for x, y, and z, but there is confusion regarding the interpretation of these values and the variables involved. Clarification is sought on whether "x" in the equation is a subscript or a variable, and if the cosine values represent x(cos(θ)). The user has specific values for charge (q) and magnetic field (B) but is unsure how to apply them correctly to find the momentum components. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurate calculations in particle physics.

Help me if you can! Particle physics! Give it a shot! Pleaseee

in particle physics data from fermi lab I have to find out the momentum (p) of x, y, and z. The equation is p=qBx and i have q(coulombs) and B (tesla). The data I'm looking at says

cos theta x=0.47

cos theta y=-.10

cos theta z=-.88

using q=1.609E-19 and B=4
how can I find p x, p y, p z?

I'm not sure I understand what you've written out there correctly.

cos theta x = 0.47?

Do you mean x(cos (θ)) = 0.47 ?

Also, for p = qBx, is that x a subscript or a variable?
 
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...
