Please turn the equation so that it can be read horizontally. Also, please explain what each term in the equation is supposed to represent. Then perhaps we will be able to tell you if it is correct and if it isn't, we will be able to point out where you went wrong. Writing the equations in LaTeX is encouraged and will be of great help.

Leave it i got the answer but thanks for your time

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 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
