AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on concerns regarding the potential link between mobile phone radiation and brain tumors, sparked by Peter's recent diagnosis. His father suspects that prolonged use of a mobile phone may have contributed to the tumor's development. Participants debate the necessity and methodology of conducting an investigation into this link. There is uncertainty about how to design an experiment to explore this issue effectively. The conversation emphasizes the need for more information before proceeding with any experimental approach.

Homework Statement



Peter was diagnosed with a tumour in his brain last week. According to his father, he has beem using his newly brought handphone to chat with his friends for long hours for long hours every night. This led to suspicion that the tumour was due to the prolonged exposure to radiation from the mobile phone.



Homework Equations



1.)How would you like to carry out the investigation?
2.)Is doing an experinment necessary?

The Attempt at a Solution



I have find the information regarding the question , did not know how to carry out the experiment/doing an experiment necessary?

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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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'

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...
