AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying the accuracy of graphs representing position, velocity, and acceleration for a ball's movement. The user seeks confirmation on whether their interpretations of the ball's motion, as illustrated in their graphs, are correct. Key points include the expected continuity of the position and velocity graphs and the need for clarification on the acceleration graph at specific points. The user also requests guidance on plotting these graphs effectively. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate graphical representation in understanding motion dynamics.

I posted a picture that translates the bottom information into a graph
I wanted to know if my answers below are correct and my graphs are correct...
Thank you.
First Graph:Position
second Graph : Velocity
third graph: Accelertaion

Position Velocity Acceleration

1. Ball rolls to the left of A + - 0
2. Ball rolls to the left down B + - -
3. Ball rolls to the left up C - - +
4. Ball reaches its maximum - 0 ?
height at c
5.Ball rolls to the right up C - + +
6. Ball rolls to the right up B + + -
7. Ball rolls to the right across A + + -

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...
