A question says; A particle moves along a straight line according to Eq s^2=at^2+2bt+c, s is distance traveled a, b , c are constamts . Then acceleration varies as what power of s?
I have tried it but can't get anything out of it. Please help

Hello Shayan, don't know if this is your first post on the homework forum, but the guys who run this thing insist you show what you've tried.

Before that, you should start listing the relevant equation(s) that link s(t) and the acceleration.

The relevant equation(s) are item 2 and the attempt at solution is item 3 in the template, that (for mysterious reasons) has disappeared altogether. Very strange. if I try to start a new thread, I really always get

2. Homework Equations
3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]

and that is really (really) a very useful template :wink:
 
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...
