AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum horizontal distance of a projectile launched at a 70-degree angle with a velocity of 50 m/s, reaching a height of 60 m. It is noted that there are two horizontal distances where the projectile attains this height. Gneill's diagram is referenced as the correct representation of the projectile's trajectory. The calculations involve understanding the projectile motion equations to determine these distances accurately. The importance of visualizing the problem through diagrams is emphasized for clarity in understanding projectile motion.

gneill's diagram is the correct one.

Note that there are 2 horizontal distances such that the height of the projectile is at 60m.

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...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
