Homework Statement



construct a demonstration out of household items, then explain the physics behind the demonstration using examples of physics concepts


Each explanation should contain these things:
1. What specific physics concept is demonstrated?
2. how does the physics concept apply to your demonstration?
3. Why the concept is important to your project?
4. When does this physics concept affect you in your everyday life?
5. pictures of your demo and other everyday applications.

i just need some ideas with some info please
thank you so much

if it is not in the right category sorry
just please i need some help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
ok i figured out an idea of something to construct but if someone could help me with the explanation of it
well...
that would be nice..
I decided to like design like a ball attracted to a string and well like this___________________

@ <(^_^)>when I start the ball from right next to the item ("<(^_^)>") and let it go when it comes it will never hit the item

can someone give a good explanation of this with the stuff needed that i posted in the previous post

thank guys so much for helping
^_^
 
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...
