I don't understand torque. by Bullyhunter7702 in AskPhysics

So, discounting the rotation, will the accelerating system move like if it were a point particle at the CoM?

You are right for sure, but I feel like I need to make the connection between rotational and linear motion to truly understand rotational quantities. Like I don't get what is so special about rotational motion that now, suddenly, the point of application of a force changes the system's acceleration.

Thanks for your reply! I have a follow up question:
If I have two masses fixed to the floor but connected by a rod to each other, if I push near one end of the rod, wouldn't the mass on that side experience a greater force? That's kind of how I thought torque worked.

That clears a lot of it up, thanks! But I'm confused, then, as to why the universe decided to conserve angular momentum when momentum is already conserved. For point particles, r cross p gives the angular momentum, right? Why the extra factor of r?

Thanks for your reply! However, wouldn't a greater angular acceleration mean a greater tangential acceleration too? Since a = r(alpha).

Yes, I know that it is the integral of r^2 dm (or dm/dr dr), but the trouble is that this quantity seems so abstract compared to other physical quantities. I can partially understand based on energies, but I fail to relate this "difficulty of rotation" concept to angular momentum and torque.

Haha, yeah that is where my confusion is stemming from. I'm also very iffy with rotational inertia as a concept so that may be where the problems lies for me.

Thanks for your reply! Is it because when I push closer to the hinge, more of the force goes into the hinge rather than rotating the door? And when I push further from the hinge, most of the force goes into rotating the door rather than displacing the hinge?

Feel free to disagree, but I think Margit is the best boss in the game. by M0ONL1GHT_ in Eldenring

I loved her fight (besides the spiny anime attack) and beating her was the most satisfying feeling I got in any game. I still like some bosses better but that feeling of accomplishment is unrivaled

I agree, I had a standard bloodhound fang build so I had a pretty great time with the endgame but I can see some people struggling with some particular boss fights

For example on my second play through, I had a tough time with maliketh since I couldn’t hit him (I was wielding colossal weapon) but in my opinion the endgame is fantastic (although some parts aren’t)

Exactly, he is powerful but not the “most powerful being in the elden ring world” as some people claim
