    B Relative Speed of 2 Beam Lights: Is it C or Zero?

    what if i am riding one of the light beams ? in other words if i am riding one of the beams that moves in the same direction of another beam what will be the speed of the other beam ?

    B Relative Speed of 2 Beam Lights: Is it C or Zero?

    here "c" is the speed of light , i have a question in my mind and i have no answer for it , if two light beams are moving in opposite directions then their relative speed is simply c using the law of velocities addition in case of special relativity but what if those two light beams are moving...

    Lagrangian for a rolling disk on horizontal plane

    for a disck rolling on a horizontal plane the kinetic energy should be the kinetic energy of the CM of the disk with respect to the origin plus the kinetic energy due to the rotation of the disc about his CM so T= 1/2 (M V^2) +1/2(I ω^2) where M is the mass of the disk and V is the velocity of...

    Why does this system have zero potential energy and only one degree of freedom?

    oops sorry i miss readed the part which is saying that its moving on the horizontal plane XD but i havnt figured out why theta is the only DOF

    Why does this system have zero potential energy and only one degree of freedom?

    the question is : particles m1 and m2 each of mass m are connected by a massless rod with length l , these particles move on a frictionless horizontal plane as shown in the screen shot , the movement of m1 is fixed on a frictionless circular track of radius R , find the E.O.M ! Homework...

    I Deriving Lagrange's Equation: Help Understanding Chain Rule

    am deriving lagrange's equation can anybody help me to understand this identity the book says that he is using the chain rule for it but am not getting it d/dt(∂x/∂q) the identity is in the screen shot thanks :)

    Forces of Constraints: Solved Example in Gregory's Book

    hello :) my question is about a solved example in gregory's book first of all , assuming that that a cylinder with radius "a" is rolling without slipping towrad the y direction in an incline plane with angle θ with the horizon and the cylinder him self is rotating with angle Φ about him self...
