AI Thread Summary

For a Physics 1-2 test, it's crucial to include fundamental equations such as Newton's laws, kinematic equations, and conservation laws on your notecard. Participants suggest reviewing the specific chapters covered in your course to identify relevant equations. It's also recommended to consult your textbook for a comprehensive list of equations that align with your current curriculum. Understanding the application of these equations in problem-solving is essential for success. Preparing a focused notecard based on your course material will enhance your test performance.

Perhaps it might help if you described what chapter you've done, and surely as said above, you should just know to check your book for the equations that are relevant to your (current course progress)/test.

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:
