What Forces Were Involved in Richard Hammond's Car Crash?
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the forces involved in Richard Hammond's car crash, highlighting the need for a physics-based analysis. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the physical principles at play rather than simply providing answers. The conversation also touches on the public's demand for thrilling entertainment, which may contribute to risky situations. Adherence to forum rules regarding homework assistance is stressed, with a focus on guidance rather than direct answers. Overall, the thread underscores the intersection of physics and real-world events in understanding car crashes.
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...
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:
F1=(5000+200)g=5200*10=52000N --> F2=(5000+100)g=5100*10=51000N ?
