How do you deduce acceleration?

AI Thread Summary
To deduce initial acceleration from the variables B (magnetic field), L (length), M (mass), and I (current), one must establish a relationship between these quantities and force. Understanding the equations governing electromagnetism and Newton's second law is crucial, as force equals mass times acceleration. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing attempts at solving the problem to receive effective assistance. The participant is in an IB grade 11 course, indicating a higher level of complexity in the homework assignment. Clear guidance on how to structure the inquiry is provided, focusing on the necessary components for effective problem-solving.

How do you deduce initial acceleration just from B, L, M, and I? (Telsa, length, mass, and current)

What can you tell us about how these quantities are related? If you can find a way to get a force then you have the means to get the acceleration of some object.
 
I do not have an idea of how they are related... and I can't seem to figure out the formulas for how acceleration is derived from
 
Is this a homework assignment? What grade level? of what course or project?

It is a homework assignment. I'm on my IB course as grade 11.
 
Okay so I'm going to move this thread to our homework forum.

You're going to need to answer these three questions (known as our homework template that appears when you post in the proper homework forum)

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...
