Linear momentum is a vector that shares the same direction as the velocity, while linear impulse measures the effect of a force during the time it acts on …
Consider a massless pulley system consisting of a wooden box and a cylinder of known masses. Determine the speed of the attached objects at a specific …
Consider a system of particles moving relative to an inertial frame of reference.
The equation of motion for such a system can be written as the sum of …
In a game of billiards, when the cue ball strikes a stationary ball, it transfers some of its momentum to the stationary ball. The cue ball slows down, …
Impacts can be classified into various types.
A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on with opposite velocities aligned along the line of …
In an experiment during a Mars mission, a rover fires a projectile with an initial velocity that rebounds after impacting the Martian surface.
With a …
In a spinning top, applying a force at a distance from the center creates torque, which changes the angular momentum of the top, causing it to spin.
The …
Consider a control volume, such as a pipe with solid boundaries. As fluid flows within the pipe, it changes direction due to the impulse exerted by the …
For the purpose of investigating the evolution of dust aggregates in the early Solar System, we developed two vacuum drop towers in which fragile dust …
Vertical impacts of spheres on clean water have been the subject of numerous water entry investigations characterizing cavity formation, splash crown …
Experimental studies of liquid drop impacts on surfaces are often restricted in their scope due to the large range of possible experimental parameters …
