Laws Newton's laws

AI Thread Summary

Numerous participants emphasize the applicability of Newton's laws in everyday situations, suggesting that real-world examples are abundant. They encourage looking at common scenarios to identify which of Newton's laws apply, such as objects in motion, forces acting on bodies, and interactions between objects. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding these laws through practical observation rather than seeking complex examples. Participants also suggest that AP Physics-B students can find relevant situations in their daily lives. Overall, the conversation underscores the idea that Newton's laws are foundational and can be recognized in a variety of contexts.

does anybody know where I can find a LOT of situations where I have to identify which law of Newton it fits to?

If not, can somebody give me situations in which I have to indentify?
This is AP physics-B level so something not that convoluted

Thanks

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 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:

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...
