I in: Mechanical Oscillations - Angular freq, Energy of oscillating system

AI Thread Summary
The mechanical energy of an oscillating system is primarily composed of potential and kinetic energy, varying between equilibrium and extreme positions. At the equilibrium position, the system has maximum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy, while at extreme positions, potential energy is maximized and kinetic energy is zero. Angular frequency is defined as the rate of oscillation, calculated as ω = √(g/L) for a simple pendulum and ω = √(k/m) for a spring. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing the behavior of oscillating systems. The discussion emphasizes the importance of energy distribution and angular frequency in mechanical oscillations.

Dear Collegues,
Can you help me to answer theese : Describe the mechanical energy of the oscillating system, with the special interest in the equilibrium and extreme positions.
And can u tell me please, that, what is angular frequency in this topic?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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'

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...
