AI Thread Summary
To prepare for a physics assessment focused on Newton's 2nd and 3rd Laws, it's recommended to seek out practice questions specifically targeting these concepts. Many educational resources, including those from government education departments, may offer relevant study materials. Engaging with a variety of example problems will enhance understanding and application of these laws. Utilizing online platforms and textbooks can also provide additional practice opportunities. Consistent practice is key to mastering these physics skills.

Homework Statement


Hey guys, i have a kind of unusual question. My physics class does something called standards based grading where we have to isolate specific physics skills and practice them, and then we are tested on them. Does anyone know where i can find practice questions about Newton's 2nd Law and Newton's third law?


Homework Equations


The actual standards are:
3.4B- Solve problems using Newton's 2nd Law
3.5B- Apply Newton's Third Law to situations involving interacting objects

These are basically the things i need to be able to do


The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Sounds like the New Zealand system.
If it is anything like NZ, your country will supply study materials - probably attached to your government's Education department/ministry/directorate/committee/whatever website.

However - pretty much anybodies Newton's law problems will be good enough for your study.
Just do lots of examples.
 

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...
