AI Thread Summary
To calculate the acceleration of a board on rolling tubes, one must first determine the speed of the board after it has shifted a distance of 2 meters. The relationship between speed and distance can be utilized to find acceleration using the chain rule, specifically by deriving speed as a function of distance. Additionally, the frictional forces between the board and the tubes, as well as between the tubes and the floor, need to be considered in the overall dynamics of the system. The applied horizontal force of 40 N plays a crucial role in these calculations. Understanding these principles will help in accurately determining the acceleration of the board.

Homework Statement



Plank of mass M = 8 kgr is installed on the same two tubes (very small
thickness) radius R and mass m = 2 kgr. Initially the system property. A horizontal
force F = 40 N applied to the board and the tubes rolled without sliding (Ic = mR^2).
When the board shifted s = 2m on the ground calculate:

a. the speed of the board
b. the acceleration of the board
c. the friction between board and the tubes
d. the friction between tubes and floor

The Attempt at a Solution



Ι have found the speed of the board but i don't know how to find the acceleration.

If you have found v as a function of s, then obviously you know how to get dv/ds, and you can then get dv/dt by using the chain rule :wink:
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
