My physics teacher assign us a big project relate to tcareers in physic, i choose basketball player, and in order to write a written summary for this project, i need more accurate information about it. Particularly Equation and some effective diagram!

i found a lot of information for now, but i am not sure they are adequate, please help me, can i please ask for some equations and some demonstrations?

Thax alot

It is not clear to me what you need. How does a basketball player relate to a career in Physics?
 
What kind of equations/demonstrations do you need? Can you give one or two examples?
 
it is about projectile motion.
 

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'

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...
