What Causes a Rod to Slip on a Moving Truck?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the acceleration of a rod when it begins to slip against the wall of a truck. It is noted that a pseudo force must be applied to the rod, as the bottom of the rod in contact with the truck will experience backward acceleration due to the truck's movement. The key point is understanding how this backward acceleration affects the rod's motion. The conversation emphasizes the relationship between the truck's acceleration and the rod's slipping behavior. Overall, the mechanics of the system are crucial for accurately calculating the rod's acceleration at the moment it starts to slip.

we have a truck in our game we have a rod against the wall of that truck, and we know the acceleration of truck when the rod start slipping... we just want to know what is acceleration and of rod when it start slipping.

hm...
we will have to apply a pseudo force on the rod. so the acceleration for the bottom of the rod
in contact with the truck will try to move backwards with (a)accelaration.
well...thats the idea I am getting

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...

Thread 'Recovering Hamilton's Equations from Poisson brackets'

The issue : Let me start by copying and pasting the relevant passage from the text, thanks to modern day methods of computing. The trouble is, in equation (4.79), it completely ignores the partial derivative of ##q_i## with respect to time, i.e. it puts ##\partial q_i/\partial t=0##. But ##q_i## is a dynamical variable of ##t##, or ##q_i(t)##. In the derivation of Hamilton's equations from the Hamiltonian, viz. ##H = p_i \dot q_i-L##, nowhere did we assume that ##\partial q_i/\partial...
