    Final Speed
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the final speed of a 5 kg vase lifted 10 m with a constant force of 60 N, the net force must account for gravity, leading to F_net = F - mg. The acceleration is calculated as a = F_net/m = (60 N - 49 N)/5 kg = 2.2 m/s². Using the kinematic equation v² = u² + 2as, where u is the initial speed (0), the final speed is determined as v = √(0 + 2 * 2.2 * 10) = 6.63 m/s. The initial calculation of 15.49 m/s was incorrect due to not considering the gravitational force. The correct final speed of the vase is 6.63 m/s.

final speed ??

A 5 kg vase is lifted vertically from rest to a distance of 10 m with a constant upward applied force of 60.0 N. Calculate

iii) the final speed of the vase

F=ma
60=5(a)
a=12

v^2 = U^2+2as
v^2=0+2(12)(10)
V^2 = 240
v= 15.49m/s

is the step correct~??

thanks for reply~

What about mg?
 


is that have to include mg??

Yes. You have three forces acting on a vase: F, mg & ma.

then can you show me the step to get the final speed??
 
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...
