HW help requested (Tension, Circular motion, Work and Energy Theorum)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a request for help with physics problems related to tension, circular motion, and the work-energy theorem. The user has attempted several problems but feels lost and seeks guidance on how to approach them. Specifically, they express confusion over their calculations for problem 4, where they calculated work done and obtained a negative result, which they believe may indicate an error in their approach. The attachment containing their attempts is inaccessible due to server restrictions. Clarification on the correct method for solving these problems is requested to ensure understanding and accuracy.

I have attempted each problem, but am getting lost on just what to do to solve. If i could be pointed in the right direction on how i should go about each problem that would be nice. Attached are my attempts at problems 1-3.

Homework Statement


SEE ATTACHMENT

The Attempt at a Solution


See attatchments for attempts at first 3

attempt at problem 4

M = .150kg D = .65 m
F(x) = 15000 + 10000x -25000X^2
A) work done = ∫F(x)dx = ∫15000 + 10000x -25000X^2 dx
= 15000x + 5000x^2 - ((25000x^3)/3) bounded from 0 to 65 = -9572 JoulesI only need help with part A for problem 4. I feel like i had to have done something wrong or i approuched the problem wrong because a negative answer doesn't seem to make sense.

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...
