AI Thread Summary
A cyclist accelerates uniformly from rest, achieving an average speed of 6 m/s over 10 seconds. The question seeks to determine the magnitude of the cyclist's final velocity. Participants suggest clarifying the problem by ensuring accurate translation and presenting data values clearly. There is a recommendation to use tools like Google Translate for better comprehension. The discussion emphasizes the importance of precise language and data in solving physics problems.

Homework Statement


[/B]
A cyclist accelerates uniformly from rest so he he has a middlde avrage speed of 6 s / m ^ -1 for 10 s to maintain . What is the magnitude of the final velocity of the cyclist

Homework Equations


This is translated so idk if its stpot on in english.
How do i solve it ?

Sorry, it is mangled English. Can you try to fix it? The data values are important and they are missing.

Perhaps keep the data values away from the translator, type them in afterwards below the text as numbers with units?

Thx for the welcome,
Im afrikaans so if you understan afrikaans i can give the qestion directly but i tryed fixing the english

Something about an average speed of 6 m/s?

If you are not sure about abbreviations, write things out in full, e.g., metres per second

I think the google translator can handle Afrikaans.

Perhaps you don't understand what is involved in the original question? So, try the google translator. http://translate.google.com/m/translate

goeie geluk!
 
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...
