Conceptual question: Newton's Laws

AI Thread Summary
In a vacuum, when a hole is poked in a pressurized can, the pressure inside pushes the can to the right. However, when the can is within a pressurized container and a hole is made, the movement is less clear. Initial acceleration towards the hole may occur as gas particles rush to fill the vacuum, but this effect is temporary. Once the gas particles cross the vacuum and exert force, the can experiences no net force and will decelerate due to air resistance. Ultimately, the can's movement is dictated by the dynamics of gas flow and pressure differences.

Suppose you have a can (like a spray can) in a vacuum. You poke a hole in the can and the pressure from the can pushes it to the right. Now suppose you have a vacuumed can within a pressurized container and then you poke a hole in it. Which way (if at all) does it move?

I know this is sort of like the Feynman sprinkler problem, and because of this (I guess) similar analog I keep thinking that it won't go anywhere. Is this correct?

My intuition suggests it will initially accelerate towards the side with the hole in it for the time it takes for gas particles to cross the vacuum inside the can and hit the inside wall. At this point there would, if the can were not moving, be no net force on the can, and it will now decelerate due to "air resistance" until it comes to rest.

I believe the can will accelerate towards the hole for exactly the time it takes for the gas particles to travel twice across the can .

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...
