What is its average speed during this 37 s interval? Answer in units o

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the average speed of a freely falling object over a 37-second interval, starting from rest with an acceleration due to gravity of 10 m/s². The formula v = u + at is suggested for determining instantaneous velocity, where initial velocity (u) is 0. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work and using the correct units in the calculations. The average speed can be derived from the total distance fallen during the time interval. The final answer should be expressed in meters per second (m/s).

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'

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...
