Grade 11 Physics Homework Help :]

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a Grade 11 physics homework question regarding the relationship between average velocity and instantaneous velocity during constant acceleration on a displacement vs. time graph. Participants clarify the terms initial velocity (Vi) and final velocity (Vf) while encouraging the original poster to approach the problem using basic physics concepts. There is a mix of frustration and humor as some contributors express confusion over the terminology used. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding foundational physics principles to solve the problem effectively. Overall, the thread highlights the collaborative effort to assist with academic challenges in physics.

Hi guys, please help me out on this question, I am doing a Position x Time Graph Lab (displacement vs time). and For the analyzing and interpreting questions, i have this question I am stuck on ...



2. For constant acceleration, how does the average velocity for an interval compare with the instantaneous velocity at half-time in the interval?

Note: This is basic physics (grade 11 University Physics Course).
for a Displacement vs Time Graph.

What do you think? If you call the initial and final velocities for the interval Vi & Vf, how would you express the two quantities in question?

(I assume this question is restricted to motion in one dimension.)
 
dude what are u smoking :O

wtf is Vi, and Vf?

all i know is Velocity, Speed, Acceleration and Displacement. None of that university level **** u just said :o

cmon can i just awnser it in basic terms? its my first year in physics :@

Vi = Initial Velocity
Vf = Final Velocity
 
"Dude", we are here to help. You could help yourself by stepping up your game a bit. This problem can be solved with 11th-grade reasoning powers. If you can please tell us how you are thinking through this problem, we can better guide you to the answer. Also, since you have an interest in the ignition habits of posters, I would recommend anything from Rocky Patel. Had a "Patel Brothers" recently. Quite intense.
 
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...
