Resultant Velocity of Thor's Hammer

AI Thread Summary
To determine the resultant velocity of Thor's hammer when launched at Loki, the problem involves calculating both the linear and angular components of the hammer's motion. Thor spins the hammer at 2.00 rad/s while running at 4.00 m/s, and the length of the hammer is 1.20 m. After 3.00 seconds, the angular velocity contributes to the linear velocity at the end of the hammer, which can be calculated using the formula for tangential velocity. The final resultant velocity combines these components, factoring in the direction of motion. The solution requires applying conservation laws and understanding the relationship between linear and angular velocities.

Homework Statement


Thor starts spinning his hammer at a rate of 2.00 rad/s2 while he starts running toward Loki at 4.00m/s2 . The distance from Thor’s elbow to the end of the hammer form a rigid 1.20m segment. If he takes 3.00 seconds before he launches the hammer at Loki, what is the resultant velocity of the hammer when it leaves Thor’s hand?

You must show some attempt, as per forum rules. Also mention any conservation laws you think might be useful.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
