Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass is moving in circular motion with the radius defined by e_r. If θ changes rapidly, analyze the implications on the mass’s linear momentum.

💡 Hint: Focus on how the rapid change in θ impacts the forces on the mass.

Question 2

Given that e_θ rotates with θ changes, calculate how the rotational velocity affects the resultant force in a cylindrical coordinate system.

💡 Hint: Apply the principles of rotational motion and how they interrelate with e_θ.
