Impulse

AI Thread Summary

Total impulse is defined as the product of force and the time duration over which the force acts, represented mathematically as Impulse = Force x Time. The discussion highlights the difficulty some users have in finding this information online, despite its availability. Several participants confirm that a simple Google search yields multiple resources explaining total impulse. The conversation emphasizes the importance of using effective search terms to access scientific concepts. Understanding total impulse is crucial for applications in physics and engineering.

What is the equation for total impulse?
I tried looking it up on the internet, but they did not have it on the internet.

Seriously? I Googled it, and the first dozen hits had the words Total Impulse highlighted...

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:

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
