    Ball Direction
AI Thread Summary
A ball in uniform motion is influenced by inertia and gravitational force, which act perpendicularly. The discussion revolves around determining the net direction of the ball's movement, suggesting that trigonometry could be useful for solving this. Responses indicate that the ball will move in a parabolic arc. New users are reminded to follow forum rules for posting homework questions, including providing the full question and an attempt at a solution. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity and adherence to posting guidelines in academic discussions.

hello friends, a ball experiences uniform motion due to inertia and gravitational force which is acting downwards. Both these forces are perpendicular. So given these conditions,in which direction the ball will move? I think with the help of trigonometry we can solve this.. Since there are two direction force are acting,i think ball will move in net direction.. But i don't know which net direction...

In particular please post the whole question as set and an attempt at the solution.

EDIT: There are several ways to answer your question as posed. The simplest is "In a parabolic arc".

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'

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...
