Conservation of Angular Momentum

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on using the conservation of angular momentum to explain a scenario involving a rod and a cork. A participant seeks clarification on how this principle applies to a situation where a glass is saved after the cork is released. The conversation highlights the need for proper formatting in physics queries, particularly for non-homework-related questions. Participants are advised to create new threads using a specific template for clarity. The thread ultimately concludes with a request for closure and guidance on future postings.

Hi Folks,

How would one use the conservation of angular momentum to explain the attached picture?
The rod is held fixed horizontally..the person holds on to the cork and then let's go...apparently the glass is saved due to this conservation...

Hi. I am not a student and this is not homework. I am reading physicsnin my spare time and occasionally I put a question up to get peoples opinions/help.
Please advise how I should proceed for future queries..
Thanks

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
