AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating vector displacement in a pond hockey scenario. The first part involves determining the final position of a puck after it travels 20.0 m at a 25° angle west of north and then 30.0 m at a 35° angle north of west. The second part requires calculating the additional distance a puck must travel from a player positioned 35 m at a 40° angle west of south after shooting 25 m east to reach the net. Participants are encouraged to show their attempts at solving these problems before seeking assistance. Accurate vector calculations are essential for determining the puck's final position and required displacement.

In the World Pond Hockey tournament held in Plaster Rock, NB, a puck on the ice travels 20.0 m [25° W of N], gets deflected, and travels 30.0 m [35° N of W]. Determine where the puck will end up with respect to its starting point. (displacement)

b) In the same tournament, a player is positioned 35 m [40° W of S] of the net. He shoots the puck 25 m [E] to a teammate. What second displacement does the puck have to travel in order to make it to the net?

Thanks in advance

*Sorry - typo on "Displacement"

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'

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...
