    Pendulum Time
AI Thread Summary
To approximate the time it takes for a pendulum to come to a stop, one must consider factors such as damping, mass, and the characteristics of the harmonic oscillator. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the damped harmonic oscillator model, which provides insights into how energy loss affects motion. Relevant equations that describe the system's behavior are essential for accurate calculations. The role of friction and air resistance in the damping process is also crucial. Overall, a comprehensive analysis of these factors is necessary to determine the stopping time of the pendulum.

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...
