Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around integrating concepts of projectile motion, circular motion, and simple harmonic motion, specifically in the context of creating complex problems that combine these areas. Participants are exploring how to formulate questions that involve these physics concepts, particularly in the horizontal plane and scenarios involving charged particles in electric fields.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to create complex problems that combine projectile motion and circular motion, with some suggesting specific scenarios like a ballistic pendulum or conical pendulum. Questions about the feasibility of combining all three concepts into one problem are raised, alongside considerations of how the motion would behave if certain conditions, like a string snapping, were introduced.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing ideas and suggestions for potential problem scenarios. Some guidance has been offered regarding specific types of problems, but there is no explicit consensus on a single approach or solution yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of high school physics, specifically grade 12, and are referencing prior knowledge and resources they have already studied. There is an emphasis on creating exam-type questions that are complex and challenging.

hey again,
still looking for projectile motion + circular motion problems (only in horizontal plane). Can anyone please help me make up a question with these two concepts in one. If possible make it a 5 STAR complex question!

I am also studying charged particles in a electric field which relates to circular motion and i am also studying SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION. Any good complex / exam type questions you can offer will be very much appreicated!

thanks

What level are you studying at?
 
hey
studying gr 12 physics
also, thanks for the sites you provided, but already studied that last year
still looking for a "CONICAL PENDULUM" problem
thanks in advance
 
would you have any idea to combine a projectile + circular motion problem together ?
 
What if you had a paticle on a string under vertical circular motion and the string snapped at a given point.
 
You can make up a question with you throwing a rock which is attached to a string with another rock at the other end... then you can calculate stuff like it's speed relative to the ground... etc...

It's very elementary, but hmm.
 
if it snapped, the particle would continue at a tangent,
do you think you could combine SHM+CIRCULAR MOTION+PROJECTILE MOTION all in one question?

Circular motion is an example of SHM.

Yes, but if the circle was vertical you could calculate it's range/flight time, because there would be vertical acceleration due to g.
