    Time Velocity
AI Thread Summary
To determine the velocity and time for a projectile thrown to a height of 2 meters and traveling 30 meters horizontally, the problem must be clarified as a projectile motion scenario. The vertical motion can be analyzed using the height and gravitational acceleration, while the horizontal motion relates to the distance traveled. The time to reach the maximum height can be calculated using the formula for vertical motion, and the horizontal velocity can be derived from the total distance and time. The discussion emphasizes the need for clear definitions of the projectile's launch conditions to apply the correct equations. Accurate calculations depend on understanding whether the projectile is launched at an angle or horizontally.

1. Homework Statement

height in the y direction=2 meters
mass=142grams
gravity/accelaration=9.81m/s2
velocity in the x direction=? we have to find out
time=?? we have to find out
distance=3o meters


2. Homework Equations

we have to find out the velocity and time

3. The Attempt at a Solution

i don't understand it so i need it with the formula and what u did
please i need this before i go to bed so in the next 20 minutes

Your problem is not clear. Is this a projectile being launched at an angle and reaches a maximum height of 2 meters? Or is this a projectile launched horizontally from a height of 2 meters?
 
well my teacher siad that he threw the basebal and it went two meters up and then went 30 meters in the x direction

that's all i know
 

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'

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...
