Newton's Laws: Force, Time, Acceleration, & Distance

AI Thread Summary
A 4kg block experiences a 5N force, resulting in an acceleration of 1 m/s². After 5 seconds of force application, the block's speed will reach 5 m/s. Once the force is removed, the block will no longer accelerate and will maintain its speed of 5 m/s. The total distance traveled during the 5 seconds of acceleration is 12.5 meters. The discussion emphasizes the importance of applying relevant equations and understanding the principles of motion.

A 4kg block rests on a table. 5N is applied to it, pulling it the right, giving it an acceleration of 1ms^-2.
( a)If the applied force acts on the block for 5s, what will be the speed of the block at the end of this 5s be?
(b)After 5s, the applied force is removed. What will be the new acceleration of the block?
(c)How far has the block moved for the whole motion?

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...
