A Quick "Lesson" on Physics and sin graphs

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking assistance with understanding physics concepts related to motion along a sine graph, specifically the equation y(t) = -sin(x(t)). Participants are encouraged to share equations, lesson plans, or examples that can aid in calculating velocity, distance, and force for this type of motion. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to begin solving the problem. The conversation highlights the need for foundational knowledge in physics to tackle these calculations effectively. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of collaborative learning in grasping complex concepts.

Homework Statement


Well instead of asking the entire question, I just would like some help getting started. What equations, or even some lesson plans/examples, are out there that can help me with finding things like velocity, distance moved, force, etc on something that moves along a sin graph.

Homework Equations


y(t)= -sin(x(t)) is the specific graph I am working with.

The Attempt at a Solution


Help? :(

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...
