Kinetics of a Particle: Impulse and Momentum
Linear momentum is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the motion of an object. It is a vector quantity, having a magnitude equal to the…
Consider a wooden box and a cylinder of known masses m1 and m2, respectively, hanging from a ceiling with the help of a massless pulley…
In the context of a system of particles moving relative to an inertial frame of reference, the equation of motion is a crucial tool for understanding…
In the dynamic realm of billiards, a fascinating interplay of forces governs the motion of cue balls and stationary balls. When the cue ball collides…
Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering…
Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two…
In an experiment conducted during a Mars mission, a rover propels a projectile with an initial velocity, and the projectile rebounds after colliding…
Angular momentum characterizes an object's rotational motion and is defined as the moment of its linear momentum about a specified point O. When…
In the realm of spinning tops, the application of force at a distance from the center produces torque, a pivotal factor that alters the angular…
The angular impulse and momentum principle provides insights into how forces applied at a distance from an object's rotational axis influence its…
Consider a ball of mass m, attached to a massless rod of known length, subjected to a time-dependent torque. If the initial velocity of the mass is…
Consider a control volume, such as a pipe with solid boundaries, through which fluid flows and changes direction due to the impulse exerted by the…
Vertical impacts of spheres on clean water have been the subject of numerous water entry investigations characterizing cavity formation, splash crown…
