AI Thread Summary

To solve the problem of a motor covering a distance, the relevant kinematic formula is S = ut + 1/2at², where S is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. This equation allows for the calculation of distance under uniform acceleration. By rearranging the formula, two equations can be derived to solve for acceleration and initial velocity. Understanding these equations is crucial for determining the motor's performance over time. Utilizing these kinematic principles will effectively address the question posed.

What kinematic formula might be relevant?

Infinitum

The equations of motion under uniform acceleration. You'll get two equations in 'a' and 'initial velocity', from which you can solve for the other variables.

Ok

then we use this equation

S = ut + 1/2at^2

thanks

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
