Find Initial Velocity & Angle of Projection for a Projectile at 40m

AI Thread Summary
To find the initial velocity and angle of projection for a projectile at a height of 40 meters with a 45-degree angle to the horizontal, the relationship between the horizontal and vertical components of motion must be considered. The equations of motion, including the effects of gravity, are essential for solving this problem. The horizontal and vertical components of velocity will be equal due to the 45-degree angle. The acceleration due to gravity will influence the time of flight and the initial velocity needed to reach the specified height. Understanding these principles is crucial for determining the required values accurately.

I don't really know how much help i can be but from what i remember you the x and y times will be the same. So 40m and the acceleration of gravity with the angles are what you need to solve the problem
 

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...
