AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student's need for guidance on including a section titled "Physics Principles and Concepts used" in their coursework related to the focal length of a lens. They seek advice on what topics and sub-headings to incorporate in their analysis and evaluation, as well as information on the properties of the image produced by the lens. The student acknowledges their struggles with mathematics and emphasizes their intent to respect forum policies by not asking for direct assistance with the work. Ultimately, the student indicates that their request for help is now void, having removed all links to their work. This highlights the challenges faced by students in understanding and applying physics concepts in practical assignments.

A question on "The Focal-Length of a Lens"

Homework Statement


Basically, I have a piece of cousework due in later today (don't ask me why I left it so late), and I was told by a friend that in the analysis and conclusion that she was told by a teacher to include a section called "Physics Principles and Concepts used", one which I have never heard of before. I would also be grateful for any general information relating as to what topics/sub-headings I should actually include in the Analysis + Evaluation, as well as about the properties of the image produced.


Homework Equations


1/u + 1/v = 1/f
y = mx + c
1/f = 1/c
Please bear with me, as my maths is somewhat weak.


The Attempt at a Solution


For more background information of this experiment, my plan can be found here in a PDF. (the plan is already handed in, so I do not require any assistance with it).
Current version can be found here; please note that I will be working on this live, so the version in the link will change according to your suggestions.

Thank you in advance,

Notate Bene: I am not asking for this to be done for me. I fully understand the policies of these fora, and want to respect them.

This request is now VOID, and all links have been taken down.

No one can help me?
 
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...
