    Time Train Tube
AI Thread Summary
A tube train journey covers 432 meters in one minute, involving three stages: acceleration, uniform motion, and deceleration. The acceleration is 1/3 m/s², and deceleration is 1 m/s². Forum participants emphasize the importance of showing work and understanding the relevant kinematic equations to solve the problem. They encourage users to identify known quantities and desired outcomes to find suitable equations. Users are reminded to post homework questions in the appropriate forum for better assistance.

HELP! Answer pls ^^

a tube train covers 432m from rest to rest in 1 minute. It first accelerates 1/3 m/s2 then goes uniformly and finally retards at 1 m/s2. Find the time taken in each of the three stages of the journey.

PLEASE HELP ^^ CONFUSED ON WHAT FORMULA AND HOW TY...

We don't just give out answers here, sorry. We help with homework. We do not do homework. I already made it through intro physics! In order to get help on this forum you are going to have to show some work, sorry. It's the rules. You must have know SOMETHING about the problem. If your that stuck with finding an equation to use, list what you know and what you want to find and find an equation that has those quantities in it. Give me your thoughts on the problem at least. I need something in order to best know what is stumping you.

Also, There is a special forum for homework questions, please post your future homework questions there.
 
Sorry new at this ^^ won't happen again : )

Fair enough. Now, can you list the relevant kinematic equations that you should use for this problem? How should you apply them?
 

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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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'

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...
