how can you find reaction time from a velocity time graph? anyone know? i need an answer asap thanks a lot =). by the way the veloctiy is 1.5 m/s and starts directly on the y axis.

Astronuc gave you the same answer that we all will. Show some decent effort and attempt at understanding, and please have the consideration to only post the same topic once. If everyone did that, the forums would be a mess.

What are your ideas/thoughts on the problem? What have you tried so far? Did you check Astronuc's answer? It seems to point you in the right direction.

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...
