How Do You Solve These Basic A/L Physics Problems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving basic A/L physics problems involving velocity, tension, and dimensional analysis. Key topics include deriving the velocity equation for a stretched string, analyzing the motion of a particle dropped from a balloon, and calculating displacement for a particle dropped from a building. Participants emphasize the importance of applying the homework template and showing attempts at solutions, rather than simply providing answers. The conversation highlights the need for understanding fundamental concepts like tension, pressure, and the equations of motion. Overall, the forum encourages collaborative problem-solving and guidance in physics.

01.Velocity V of a stretched string depends on Tension T and mass per unit length M of the string. Create an equation for Velocity VUsing dimensional analysis.

02. A balloon is moving upward with velocity 36km/h, when it is 40m height from ground a particle dropped from it. (g=10m/s and there is no air friction) find,
a.Maximum height reached by the particle from ground
b.Time taken to the particle to reached the ground,
c.Velocity of the particle just before reach the ground.

03.A particle dropped from vertically downward from the top of the building, find the displacement of the nth second, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4thseconds.

04. P + ½ ρ v2 = constant, where P- pressure, ρ- Density, v- velocity. Show that the equation is dimensionally correct.
(Its v x v not v2)

@Nufi you need to use the homework template for your question: give the equations that you think are applicable, and show your own attempt at a solution.

Great. The way PhysicsForums works is to provide guidance in figuring out a problem (especially with schoolwork type problems). You won't find an answer or solution just handed out.
 
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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
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...
