AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a projectile problem to determine the maximum vertical reach at a back wall, incorporating an initial standing reach. Key equations for projectile motion are provided, including the kinematic equations for distance and velocity. The user has launched a ball at 20 m/s at a 60-degree angle but seeks clarification on the specifics of the problem, including the wall's location. Participants encourage the user to share their work and identify where they are experiencing difficulties. The conversation emphasizes the importance of diagrams and qualitative analysis of jumping differences between terrestrial and lunar environments.

Homework Statement


Finding the maximum vertical reach at the back wall.
This should be viewed as a peak height projectile problem (added to an
initial standing reach). Are diagrams
included to show the meaning of each variable? Are reasonable and unique
values used? Is the maximum vertical reach found? Is there a qualitative
analysis about the many dramatic differences between Terrestrial and Lunar jumping?

Homework Equations


d= vit+1/2at^2
vf^2=vi^2+2ad

The Attempt at a Solution


ball launched at 20 m/s. 60 degree angle.

Hi xL0VEN0TE! Welcome to PF! :wink:

What exactly is your question (and where is the wall)? :confused:

Anyway, show us what you've done, and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help. :smile:
 
Thanks. Sorry, I'm still kind of new to this website.
I just need to create a projectile problem with that info given.
 
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 hanged mass'

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...
