Mass, acceleration and velocity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the relationships between force, momentum, angular momentum, kinetic energy, potential energy, mass, acceleration, and velocity. It highlights that force is a push or pull, while momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Kinetic energy is linked to motion, and potential energy is related to the position of an object. The participant expresses confusion about how these concepts interconnect, particularly how mass influences kinetic energy and potential energy. Overall, the thread seeks clarity on these fundamental physics concepts and their interdependencies.

Describe how force, momentum, Angular momentum, kinetic and potential energy are linked with respect to mass, acceleration and velocity
Relevant Equations
N/A
Good Evening All,

I have an assignment i am struggling with really hope you can help.

The question reads Describe how force, momentum, Angular momentum, kinetic and potential energy are linked with respect to mass, acceleration and velocity

I know the following
Force – the push or pull upon an object
Momentum – IS the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity
Angular Momentum – Is the amount of rotation of a body which is the product of inertia and its angular velocity
Kinetic Energy - Is a type of energy that an object or particle has by reason of its motion
Potential Energy - Stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system

Mass – Is the fundamental property of all matter
Acceleration- Is the rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction
Velocity - is the rate at which an object changes its position

But i have no idea how they are all linked i am struggling to find any resources clearly explaining it.

How does mass affect the object's kinetic energy? What would, say, doubling the mass have on its kinetic energy?

That's the answer for momentum! Yes?

What about the others? Potential energy is a strange one, I think.

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
