    Impulse Momentum
AI Thread Summary
To determine the final velocity of a 5.00 kg object after a 30.0 N·s impulse applied due east, the initial momentum is calculated as 50 kg·m/s (5 kg x 10 m/s). The impulse adds to the initial momentum, resulting in a total momentum of 80 kg·m/s. Dividing this total momentum by the mass gives a final velocity of 16 m/s. The calculations confirm the answer is correct, resolving any uncertainty about the solution. The final velocity after the impulse is 16 m/s east.

Homework Statement


A 5.00 kg object traveling at 10 m/s east. Determine the velocity of the mass after an impulse of 30.0 NxS due east applied.

Homework Equations


Impulse=F x T p=m x v impulse= change in P

The Attempt at a Solution


M= 5.0 Kg Pf-Pi=Ft Pf=Pi+Ft Pi= (5x10) +30 Pf= 50+30=80 Vf=80 divided by 5 =16
Vi=10 m/s
Impulse= 30 n x s
Vf=?[/B]

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'

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...
