How Do You Calculate Electric Fields in Physics Problems?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate electric fields in physics problems, it's essential to understand the equations governing motion. For uniform circular motion, the period can be calculated using T = 2πr/v, leading to a result of T = π seconds when substituting the given values. Additionally, centripetal acceleration is determined by the formula a = v²/r, resulting in an acceleration of 8.00 m/s² with the provided data. Mastering these equations is crucial for solving related physics problems effectively. Understanding these concepts will enhance problem-solving skills in physics.

Sorry its sort of in backwards order, 3, 2, 1. These are pages of some homework I was given, I cannot figure out how to do 2b,d.

P.S. I am not a physics god, ha.

Thank you so much for your help.

2b) The equation for a particle in uniform circular motion, which is what is being asked for in this question, is v = 2πr/T. To solve for the period, T, simply rearrange the equation to get T = 2πr/v. Substituting the given values, you get T = 2π(0.50m)/(2.00m/s) = π s.2d) The equation for the centripetal acceleration of a particle in uniform circular motion is a = v²/r. Substituting the given values, you get a = (2.00m/s)²/(0.50m) = 8.00m/s².
 
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...
