AI Thread Summary
A stone is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +7.0 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of -9.81 m/s². To determine the velocity after 0.5 seconds, the equation vf = vi + at can be applied. Substituting the values, vf = 7.0 m/s + (-9.81 m/s² * 0.5 s) results in a final velocity of approximately +1.5 m/s. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using the correct kinematic equation for one-dimensional motion. Understanding the direction of the throw is crucial for accurate calculations.

1. A stone is thrown with an initial velocity of +7.0 m/s. The acceleration of the stone is a constant and has the value of -9.81m/s^2.What is the velocity of the stone after 0.5s?



2. Homework Equations
vf=vi+at?
i have no idea



3. The Attempt at a Solution
i can't find the right equation to put this in

What direction is it thrown? Never mind--your title suggests 1D motion, so I presume straight up.

You have the correct equation. Use it!
 

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...
