Force Relative Relative velocity Velocity

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the relative velocity and force for a moving plane and carrier, the thrust force of the plane is given as 22,000 N, and the mass of the plane is 3,000 kg. The distance involved is 75 m, and the velocity of the plane relative to the carrier is expressed as v_plane = v_carrier + (240/3.6). The discussion indicates uncertainty about how to proceed with the force calculations. Further clarification or additional information is needed to resolve the problem effectively.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

m=3000kg
s=75m
F thrust = 22000 N
v_plane = v_carrier + v_plane/carrier
v_plane = v_carrier + (240/3.6)

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'

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...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
