Helps on Projectile motion and moment of inertia

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the principles of projectile motion and moment of inertia in the context of a college assignment. Key causes of projectile motion include the forces acting on an object, leading to a defined trajectory. Moment of inertia is described as an inherent property of matter, analogous to mass in translational motion, influencing rotational dynamics. The discussion emphasizes understanding these principles to address their effects and suggests further exploration of foundational physics concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics principles, specifically Newton's laws of motion.
  • Familiarity with projectile motion and its governing equations.
  • Knowledge of moment of inertia and its role in rotational dynamics.
  • Ability to analyze forces acting on objects in motion.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the equations of motion for projectile motion, including range and maximum height calculations.
  • Study the concept of moment of inertia and its calculation for various shapes and mass distributions.
  • Explore the relationship between linear and angular motion, particularly how Newton's laws apply to rotational systems.
  • Investigate real-world applications of projectile motion and moment of inertia in engineering and physics.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles of motion and their applications in real-world scenarios.

Hello guys , i am new here .

I am currently doing my college assignment i am required to explain a few physics principle , but currently i am stuck with these two principle :

i) projectile
ii) moment of inertia in rotational of a rigid body

I am required to answer the question that stated as follow :

EXPLANATION ON THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS FROM THE PRINCIPLES for both principle
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE, MINIMIZE OR AVOID THE PROBLEMS for both principle

Hope that everyone could help me or give me some hints and tips on this question

Homework Statement



EXPLANATION ON THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS FROM THE PRINCIPLES
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE, MINIMIZE OR AVOID THE PROBLEMS


Homework Equations



EXPLANATION ON THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS FROM THE PRINCIPLES
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE, MINIMIZE OR AVOID THE PROBLEMS

The Attempt at a Solution



Sorry , i have absolutely no idea on it .

Thanks

welcome

in projectile,
CAUSE: you must consider the forces acting while in an object is in a projectile motion, stating any assumptions.
EFFECTS: This will cause the object to go in a path which has a special name

In moment of inertia
CAUSE: well, I'm not a very advanced physicist. as far as i know, moment inertia is there, exists in every singe matter. nothing causes it. It is the equivalent of mass in translational motion.

EFFECTS: try to think what effect does a mass have (consider the 3 Newton's laws). And the apply it to rotational motion to possibly have the effects of a moment of inertia.

Have a read at least at wiki

i leave the 2nd part of the question for you to think about
