AI Thread Summary
A y vs. t graph for an object projected vertically upward with an initial velocity of 34.3 m/s will display a parabolic shape, indicating the object's height over time. The v vs. t graph will appear as a diagonal line, starting at 34.3 m/s and decreasing to -34.3 m/s as the object ascends and then descends. This behavior is due to the effects of gravity acting on the object throughout its motion. The upward motion slows until it reaches the peak, after which it accelerates downward. Understanding these graphs is crucial for analyzing projectile motion.

Can anyone please explain to me what a y vs. t and a v vs. t plot would look like for an object projected vertically upward with an initial velocity of 34.3 m/s?

Would the y vs. t plot look like a parabola?
Would the v vs. t plot look like a diagonal line starting at 34.3 m/s and ending at -34.3 m/s?

Yes and Yes on both questions.
 


Thanks PhanthomJay

Do you understand why?

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 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...
