AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the velocity of a soccer ball 0.50 seconds after being kicked at an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s at a 25-degree angle. To determine this, the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity must be calculated, with the horizontal component remaining constant. The vertical velocity can be found using the equation V = Vo + (a)(t), where acceleration due to gravity is considered. The resultant velocity is then obtained by combining the horizontal and vertical components using vector addition. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving projectile motion problems in physics.

Homework Statement


A soccer ball is kicked so it follows the path of a projectile. It is given an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s at an angle of 25 degrees to the horizontal as it leavest he ground. What is the velocity of the ball 0.50 seconds after the ball leaves the ground?


Homework Equations


V=Vo + (a)(t)

Find the horizontal and vertical components of velocity. Horizontal velocity remains constant. Find the vertical velocity after time t using the relevant equation given by you. Finally find the resultant velocity by using vector method.
 
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...
