How Does Impulse Affect Acceleration and Tension in a Disk-Particle System?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the dynamics of a disk-particle system where an impulse is applied to a particle attached to a disk. Key points include the relationship between tension in the string, acceleration of the disk's center of mass, and the particle's motion. Participants explore the implications of the impulse on the system's forces and accelerations, questioning whether the particle follows a circular path and how the tension relates to centripetal force. The conversation also delves into the complexities of using polar coordinates to analyze the motion, particularly regarding the acceleration of the particle and the point of attachment on the disk. Ultimately, the participants clarify the relationship between the accelerations and the forces acting on the system.
