AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on confusion regarding equations related to angular velocity and rotational forces. Participants seek resources that provide comprehensive lists of relevant equations and educational materials on the topic. Key issues include understanding how mass factors into equations for centripetal force in scenarios like a ball on a string and a lack of clarity on the concept of angular velocity itself. A couple of helpful websites are suggested for further learning and clarification. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for better resources to grasp these concepts effectively.

Ok guys, I am a bit confused on this.
Does anyone know a good site that has a list of equations for just this? (like angular velocity, etc?)
Or even better, a website that TEACHES it?

Like I seem to be running into 2 problems while doing this homework.
First of all, some questions are like "ball on string being rotated around, creating force of blah, what is the mass" etc, but I don't know any equations that have mass in them related to this.
The second issue is that I don't really understand angular velocity.

If anyone could please help me with my questions above, that'd be great.
thanks

When the ball is being spun around the centripetal force that it experiences by the string pulling it (the tension in the string) towards the center of ratation (your hand), it (the ball) will pull just as hard back on the string (N3 action-reaction). This force is transmitted by the string to your hand. The string will therefore pull just as hard on your hand as the centripetal force it experiences.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
