I need to draw a graph. According to the directions, I need to, "supress the origin of the abscissa so that the range of my X values covers the hozrizontal scale" I know the abscissa means the x-coordinate, but I don't know what the origin of the abscissa means and how I would "suppress it"...

I don't think that's it because they ask me for the percentage error later...they want the "claimed precision expressed as a percent". Thanks anyway.

In my lab class, I needed to find k for a spring in two ways (hanging a mass from a spring & through simple harmonic motion). I've done this and now need to compare the two values - the question asks me to determine "the precision, expressed as a percent" of my measurements for k - I don't...

So, as the friction vector is traveling in the opposite direction of the displacement vector, then I should go with cos 180. Earlier, I used the angle of incline (sin theta = .10/1.44) to determine the coefficient of friction of a block on the ramp (e.g. in mg sin theta & mg cos theta) Was...

Homework Statement A cart slides down an inclined ramp at is 1.44m long. The height of the ramp is .10m. The angle of incline of the ramp is not given. The work done by the friction is -.06. I need to find the friction force. Homework Equations Work done by the friction = Friction force * d...
