AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a scenario where a rocket is launched vertically at a constant velocity of 20 m/s for 35 seconds before losing fuel and transitioning to free fall. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work and relevant equations when seeking help, indicating that the question should be placed in the Homework Help forums. The need for kinematic equations to solve the problem is highlighted, with a suggestion to reference external resources for clarification. The insistence on demonstrating understanding through work submitted is a key point of contention. Overall, the thread underscores the expectation of effort and clarity in problem-solving discussions.

A rocket is launched to travel vertically upward with a constant velocity of say...20 m/s.After
travelling maybe 35 s the rocket develops snag and its fuel supply is cut off. the rocket then travels like a free body, the height achieved by the rocket will be

THIS IS NOT A HOMEWORK QUESTION!

Can you think of any equations that you can use?

It doesn't matter if you made it up. It still must be placed in the Homework Help forums, where I have moved your thread.

And you are required to show us the relevant equations, and your attempt at a solution. Show us the kinematic equations of motion that apply to your problem (you can look them up on wikipedia.org if you are not sure).
 
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...
