AI Thread Summary
To calculate the travel time for a horse from Manila to Baguio, which is 500 km away, the horse's speed of 12 km per hour is used. The formula for time is t = d/v, where d is distance and v is speed. Substituting the values, the time required is approximately 41.66 hours. Clarifications were made regarding the expression of speed as "12 km per hour." The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly applying the formula to determine travel time.

Every horse travels 12 km every hour, how long will it take to travel from manila to baguio which is 500 km away?

How will i write every hour? I am confused, is is 60 minutes? Ty in advance

Is it *
 
"12 km every hour" = "12 km per hour" = 12 km/hr.
 
Here the speed of horse is 12 km/hr.
Speed = distance / time
Just substitute the values in the above equation to get the time required.
 
Thank you very much :)
 
Isnt it t=d/v ? Cause its asking how long will it take to travel... I am kinda confused i solve it and i got 41.66hr hehe :)
 
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...
