We're doing some coupled motion stuff in my AP Physics class and this is my second year of physics because we didn't do it last year in honors and I'm getting a bit lost with this. Does anyone have any links or explanations to help me understand this a little better?

Welcome to PF!
I assume you are talking about "related rates" problems?
 
Yep, I'm going to go in for tutoring tomorrow after school becuase we have a test on friday. I'm starting to get it a little more with the sum of the forces and such but i'd like to do a little better.
 
It would be best if you posted some examples, or at least some specifics of what you want to learn about 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'

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...
