Discover the Acceleration of a Block on a Slope without Air Resistance

AI Thread Summary
The acceleration of a block sliding down a slope without air resistance can be calculated using the formula a = g * sin(θ), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²) and θ is the angle of the slope. For a 20-degree slope, the acceleration would be approximately 3.39 m/s². The mass of the block does not affect the acceleration in this scenario. It is important to provide specific details or calculations when seeking help with physics problems. Understanding the underlying principles is crucial for solving similar problems in the future.

You need to show us something of what you have done or at least ask a specific question about the problem. Please read the homework guidelines at the top of the homework forum.
 
i did..

what will "a" be if the block is 10 kg at a slope of 20 degrees
 

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 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

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...
