AI Thread Summary
The impulse-momentum theorem states that the impulse applied to an object equals the change in momentum of that object. In the given problem, the golf club imparts a speed of 50 m/s to a 0.045 kg golf ball over a collision duration of 1.0 ms. The average force can be calculated using the formula: Force = Change in momentum / Time. The change in momentum is determined by multiplying the mass of the ball by its final velocity, leading to a calculated average force of 2.25 N. This analysis highlights the practical application of the impulse-momentum theorem in understanding collisions.

a golf club hits a golf ball of mass 0.045 kg and gives it a speed of 50 m/s. estimate the magnitude of the average force of the club on the ball if the collision last for 1.0 ms.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
