AI Thread Summary
A particle with charge q and mass m is projected on a rough horizontal plane under the influence of uniform electric and magnetic fields. It experiences a spiral motion due to these fields, along with gravitational acceleration and friction. The discussion revolves around determining the time taken for the particle to reach the origin from its initial position. The original poster initially sought help but later resolved the problem independently. The interaction highlights the complexities of particle motion in combined electric and magnetic fields.

Homework Statement


A particle of charge q and mass m is projected on a rough horizontal plane (X-Y) from a point (a,0,0) with initial velocity v = V j . In space there exists uniform electric and magnetic field E k and -B k respectively. Acceleration due to gravity is g and friction coefficient between particle and plane is u . The particle moves on a spiral path and finally reaches origin O. The time taken to reach the origin = ?

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...
