AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on converting position vs. time (p vs. t) graphs to velocity vs. time (v vs. t) graphs. Participants confirm that the v vs. t plot represents the slope of the p vs. t plot at each point. The suggested matches for the graphs are B to C, D to B, C to A, and A to D. Overall, the conversions appear to be correctly identified, indicating a solid understanding of the relationship between the two types of graphs. This highlights the importance of recognizing slopes in graph interpretation in physics.

Looks OK. The v vs t plot is a point-by-point graph of the slope of the p vs t plot. You seem to have found the correct matches.
 

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...
