AI Thread Summary
A car travels from point A to B at 120 km/h over a distance of 150 km. A second car, starting from point C, which is 76 km from B, needs to travel at 80 km/h to arrive at the same time as the first car. To solve the problem, it's suggested to draw a velocity-time graph for both cars and form equations based on their motion. The area under the graph represents the distance traveled, which can help in determining the timing for the second car's departure. Engaging in the problem-solving process is encouraged for better understanding.

I am so confused right now. This is porbably a really easy question to answer but I'm just too stupid to understand it...

So onto my question..a car drives 120km/h from point A to B (which is 150km).

When does a second car need to leave from point C (which is in between point A and B and is 76km before B), at 80km/h in order to get to point B at the exact same time as the first car?


xD

Oh my.. Dun have so little confident in urself man.. Perhaps, to easier ur understanding, You may want to draw out ur velocity-time for the two cars. You can then form 2 eqns. I won't write out the full solns.<<<read the guidelines, if u wan to know why?>>>

You know that the area under the velocity-time graph is the distance travelled. By using the eqn of motion. Try figuring out the soln urself. If cha still got prob, can post out ur prob then we can further analyse it. Just at least show some working. hehe. Happy solvin./
 
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...
