AI Thread Summary
To draw an acceleration vs. displacement graph, the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and displacement is crucial. The discussion highlights that differentiating the velocity-displacement equation introduces an unnecessary variable, complicating the process. Instead, using the relation a = v * dv/ds simplifies the task. The participants confirm that they have solved the question while clarifying concerns about additional variables from differentiation. The conversation emphasizes understanding the fundamental relationships in motion to create the correct graph.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have tried to write a linear equation in v and s and then differentiating it w.r.t. to time. but I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it. It gives me a positive slope and -ve y intercept.
Also if there is/are any other ways please do tell

first write the v-s equation, but do not diffrentiate it with time(as it would add one more variable which is not needed)

Hint: What is the relation between v,a and s?
 
thanks for your reply.
i have solved the question.
1 doubt though which extra variable is generated? on differentiation
v becomes a
s becomes v
constant is eliminated

I thought 't" would create some some problems but thanks it is eliminated. You can also do it using the relation a = v*dv/ds. This was what i was referring to!
 
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 hanging 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...
