A football is thrown upward at a 43 degree angle to the horizontal

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the initial speed of a football thrown at a 43-degree angle to achieve a 77.8 m pass, the kinematic equations for constant acceleration are essential. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², and the problem requires analyzing both vertical and horizontal components of the motion. Participants emphasize the importance of breaking down the motion into these components to apply the relevant equations effectively. Guidance is provided to encourage independent problem-solving rather than providing direct answers. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving projectile motion problems accurately.

A football is thrown upward at a(n) 43 degree angle
to the horizontal.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 ms^2 :
To throw a(n) 77.8 m pass, what must be
the initial speed of the ball? Answer in units
of ms.

Again, you need to show some work. Are you familiar with the kinematic equations for constant acceleration? Do any apply here?
 
i need some major help i know the formula for a= vf-vi/t
 
Try considering vertical and horizontal components separately, and look at the equations I gave you in your other thread. Have a go and I'll guide you, but I'm not going to set up every one of your questions for you.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
