Circular Circular motion Motion Radial Time

AI Thread Summary

A particle undergoing constant angular acceleration experiences tangential and radial accelerations that can be equal at a specific time. To determine this time, one must analyze the relationship between angular acceleration and the resulting linear accelerations. Participants in the discussion encourage sharing specific problem-solving approaches to facilitate assistance. Clarifying the steps taken in the attempt to solve the problem is essential for effective guidance. Understanding the conditions under which tangential and radial accelerations are equal is crucial for solving this circular motion problem.

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:
