AI Thread Summary
2.00 g/cm^3 is indeed equal to 2000 kg/m^3. The conversion is confirmed using the relationships that 1 cm^3 equals 0.000001 m^3 and 1 kg equals 1000 g. The calculation shows that multiplying 2.00 g/cm^3 by the conversion factors yields the correct result. The discussion concludes with agreement on the accuracy of the conversion. This confirms the understanding of unit conversions in density measurements.

Homework Statement


My problem is to determine whether or not my conversion is correct.

2.00 g/cm^3 is = _______ kg/m^3


Homework Equations


If I'm not mistaken,

1 cm^3 = 0.000001 m^3
1kg = 1000g



The Attempt at a Solution


My equation:

2.00 g/cm^3 (1kg/1000g)(1cm^3/0.000001m^3)
= 2,000 kg/m^3

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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

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...
