Kinematics with electric forces

AI Thread Summary
To determine the vertical component of velocity after traveling a horizontal distance, the formula v_y = v_0y + a_yt is used. In this equation, v_y represents the final vertical velocity, v_0y is the initial vertical velocity, a_y is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time taken to cover the horizontal distance. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity in the problem statement to provide accurate assistance. Understanding the kinematic equations is crucial for applying this formula effectively. This information is essential for solving problems involving kinematics and electric forces.

Um, what? You're going to have to be much more specific here. Velocity of what? Please write the whole problem out and be specific.
 


The formula for determining the vertical component of velocity after a certain horizontal distance has been traveled is:

v_y = v_0y + a_yt

Where v_y is the final vertical velocity, v_0y is the initial vertical velocity, a_y is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time it takes to travel the horizontal distance. This formula is derived from the kinematic equations, specifically the equation for displacement in the y-direction.

I hope this helps!
 
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...
