AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around the calculation of the energy level E(2+) using the rotational energy formula, where the expected result is 92 KeV, but the calculation yields 3096 KeV. Participants identify a flaw in the methodology used for the calculation, suggesting that the initial approach may be incorrect. The moderator notes that the thread was moved from a technical forum and implies that the original poster's result is inaccurate. The conversation emphasizes the need for a thorough review of the calculations involved. Clarification on the correct application of the formula is necessary to resolve the discrepancy in results.

Summary: I want to show by using the rotational energy formula that ##E(2^+) = 92 KeV##? But I got ##E(2^+) = 3096KeV##. Below is what I've done. There must be something I am missing.

There's a flaw in this exercise. My result is correct.

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:
