Luke's speed doubles. Does the size of Luke's acceleration a

AI Thread Summary
The discussion clarifies that Luke's speed doubling does not imply a corresponding change in acceleration, as speed and acceleration are independent variables. The original poster lacks sufficient information to provide a detailed analysis of the situation. It is suggested that if a question cannot be fully articulated, it may not be appropriate for the homework forum. The thread emphasizes the importance of having a substantive question for meaningful discussion. Ultimately, the relationship between speed and acceleration remains a key point of confusion.

1. Unfortunately, this is the only info I have.2. None, it's a non-science physics course.3. I have no idea, as I am really bad at this :(

Does the size of Luke's acceleration a... what? If the question is whether the acceleration doubles, the answer is no; speed and acceleration are independent of each other, so knowing that the speed doubles, in itself, tells you nothing about what happens to the acceleration.

For future reference, if you can't fill out the entire homework template, you probably don't have enough of a substantive question to be posting it in the homework forum. If you have a more detailed question, please open a new thread. This thread is closed.
 

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...
