AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a projectile motion problem involving a launch at a 30-degree angle, hitting a target 0.4 seconds later at a horizontal distance of 0.4 meters. The initial vertical velocity was calculated to be 2.8 m/s, and the time to reach the target was determined to be approximately 0.285 seconds. The y-coordinate of the target was found to be 0.399 meters. Participants suggest addressing a similar problem first to reinforce understanding before tackling this one. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in solving projectile motion equations.

you launch a projectile with an initial velocity of at an angle of 30 degrees and it hits a target .4 secpmds after it is launched at a horizontal distance of .4m
a. what is the y coordinate of the target
b. what was its intial velocity
c.what is the y- components of it s velocity just before it impacts the target
d. and what is its velocity magnitude and direction just before it impacts the target.

what i did:
1. drew graph
2. vy^2+2ay(y-y0) to find initial velocity
vy0= 2.8 m/s
3. find time
with vy=vy0+at
0-2.8/-9.8=.285 seconds
4. y coordinate:
y=voy+1/2at^2
.399idk how to find the others... please help me.

I suggest parking this one until we've dealt with the other similar problem you just posted. Then you can use this one to see if you've learned how to do them.
 
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 hanging 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...
