AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the final velocity of an arrow shot at a 30-degree angle, which landed at the same angle after 3 seconds, covering a distance of approximately 79.98 meters. The original poster provided a link to a diagram but noted it lacked specific problem details. After clarifying the parameters of the shot, they received assistance that helped them understand the trajectory better. The conversation highlights the importance of clear problem statements in physics homework. Ultimately, the poster expressed gratitude for the guidance received.

(copy and paste link please)
The information is there.
Its vertical sorry.
But I need to know the final velocity.

What is the actual problem as given to you? A diagram with a bunch of numbers is not very helpful.
 
There is no problem actually given to me. I actually shot the arrow. I shot the arrow 30 degrees and landed 30 degrees. The time it took was 3 seconds to land. The distance was 79.9847 meters.
 
Hey ... it worked ...
Thank you sir.
 

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...
