Max Height of Rolling Hoop w/Radius 0.13m and Mass 8.1kg

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the maximum height reached by a thin hoop with a radius of 0.13 m and mass of 8.1 kg as it rolls up an incline at an angle of 33 degrees. The problem utilizes the principle of conservation of energy, equating the total kinetic energy (both rotational and linear) to the potential energy at the height reached on the incline. The moment of inertia for the hoop is considered as 1/2mr² when calculating the rotational kinetic energy. By simplifying the equations, the mass cancels out, allowing for a straightforward calculation of the height. The approach emphasizes the importance of energy conservation in solving rolling motion problems.

thin hoop of radius r = 0.13 m and mass M = 8.1 kg rolls without slipping across a horizontal floor with a velocity v = 4.0 m/s. It then rolls up an incline with an angle of inclination theta = 33o. What is the maximum height h reached by the hoop before rolling back down the incline

do it using conservation of energy...

rotational K.E + linear K.E= P.E( at the hight reached on the inclined plane)
take moment of inertia of a ring=1/2mr sqr abt the central axis while calculating rotational K.E.
u will straightaway get the ans by cancelling out M

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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
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...
