SOS -- Questions about mass, acceleration and velocity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a request for help with understanding the relationships between force, momentum, angular momentum, kinetic energy, potential energy, mass, acceleration, and velocity. The original poster expresses frustration with the topic, indicating a lack of confidence in their scientific abilities. Respondents emphasize the importance of demonstrating prior attempts at solving the problem before receiving assistance. They suggest starting with fundamental equations, such as F=ma, to explore the connections between these concepts. The thread is temporarily closed for moderation, highlighting the need for adherence to forum guidelines.

Homework Statement
how force, momentum, Angular momentum, kinetic and potential energy are linked with respect to mass, acceleration and velocity
Relevant Equations
N/A
Please some one help! I am about to go stir crazy. I am really struggling to answer a the following question...describe how force, momentum, Angular momentum, kinetic and potential energy are linked with respect to mass, acceleration and velocity.

Its probably really easy but science is not my strong point so please do not judge me. Thank you in advance for any help.

According to the homework guidelines you need to show us your best attempt at solving a problem yourself.

What do you know about these quantities? Have they been covered in your physics course?
 
I would suggest starting by writing out mathematical equivalents of the various terms you are asking about. Low hanging fruit is F=ma. Define all the questions in terms of m, a, and V and see where you get to.

Welcome to PF.

As has been mentioned, you need to show your efforts to work on the problem before we can provide tutorial help. Please start a new thread in this forum and show your best efforts to start listing the relationships that you are asking about. Thank you; this thread will stay closed.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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'

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...
