Q: Confusion regarding Angular Velocity of a Rigid Body about a point outside the the body { on the fixed axis }

TPLMy Understanding: If a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis with angular velocity $\omega$, every point in the body has velocity $\mathbf{v} = \omega \times \mathbf{r}$. and "All particles are moving with the same $\omega$ about any point on the rigid body or it's axis." Now suppose the followin...

Q: The Work-Energy Theorem in Non-Inertial Frames: A Critical Analysis and Misconceptions

TonyPhysicsloverIt is evident from these queries and responses that the Work Energy Theorem holds true in non-inertial frames (with work performed by pseudo force included in the equation). Is work-energy theorem valid in non-inertial frames? Work associated with pseudo force Now if we Consider the following s...

Hey @JohnRennie Sir !

@JohnRennie Sir, I tried to solve the question that @RR. posted above, I was able to solve the question using the fact that the normal forces at each point of contact acts towards the centre of football, but why is it necessary that the normal contact forces at each point acts towards the centre.

For Example, consider the Figure F2 The plank is in the horizontal position (not tilted) , Where the normal contact forces at each point of contact acts prependicular to the plank, Using this arrangement too, Net N in vertical direction = mg ( balances out)

okay
May 23, 2023 09:29
So we're assuming that The pulling Force F varies with position of the ball and not constant overall ?
May 23, 2023 09:26
Yes
May 23, 2023 09:25
@JohnRennie but sir, if the Force pulling the string is equal to the tension and F is not equal to 0 , then the tension shouldn't be 0 at the top ?
May 23, 2023 09:24
Yess
May 23, 2023 09:23
Yes okay
May 23, 2023 09:19
Yes
May 23, 2023 09:17
yes
May 23, 2023 09:15
okay
May 23, 2023 09:14
So can we still assume that ?
May 23, 2023 09:14
Yes but in the original question, It is mentioned that a Force F is pulling the string

T + N = mg ?
May 23, 2023 09:12
Okay
May 23, 2023 09:10
Yes sir
May 23, 2023 09:09
yes
May 23, 2023 09:08
But sir what about the downwards force due to gravity ?
May 23, 2023 09:06
Yes

Q: Why current density in a condutor of uniform cross sectional area be constant at all points?

TonyPhysicsloverAccording to what I was taught, if current was dispersed "uniformly," current density would remain constant. So, in a conductor, the 'current density should be the same at all points.' But, given that electrons flow at random (their time between collisions differs from that of other electrons), h...

Q: What would be the outcomes in this arrangement? would potential varies along a conducting wire?

TonyPhysicsloverTwo conducting solid sphere,one with charge Q1 and radius R1 and the other with charge Q2 and radius R2 are kept far away Q1=5*Q2 and R1=5xR2 these spheres are connected with conducting wire Then, the potential is same at the two ends of the wire I saw these questions in a pdf of a textbook, i a...

Q: why gravitational potential away from a planet is more ? why we are considering planet as a reference frame?

TonyPhysicsloverSo , as we know that gravitational potential at a point is the work done or the amount of work needed to move unit mass from infinity to that point so means if a point is near to the planet or the mass which is creating the gravitational field then you need to work more to move a unit mass from i...

So , as we know that gravitational potential at a point is the work done or the amount of work needed to move unit mass from infinity to that point so means if a point is near to the planet or the mass which is creating the gravitational field then you need to work more to move a unit mass from infinity to that point so this means potential energy near the planet is more than that of a point away from planet but in reality we consider the inverse of this statement that a point away from the planet has more potential energy than that point which is near . But in doing so we are considering t

Hey ?
Jan 20, 2022 07:22
hmmm
Jan 20, 2022 07:12
yeah
Jan 20, 2022 07:10
yes
Jan 20, 2022 07:07
but still there is an interval or passage of time
Jan 20, 2022 07:07
or even smaller
Jan 20, 2022 07:07
yeah it is very small like 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000......1
Jan 20, 2022 07:06
yeah
Jan 20, 2022 07:05
and does it mean that a graph between work done and time is not possible ?
Jan 20, 2022 07:03
but instant = small interval of time ..........so Time in this case is not 0
Jan 20, 2022 07:00
I was reading a textbook and found the statement that said that there is no such term as instantaneous work, however the textbook does not give a reason as to why it cannot be defined.
Jan 20, 2022 07:00
@JohnRennie yep

@JohnRennie nope just a simple situation in which mass m is being displaced by the action of force f
