Homework Statement
Dr. Jane is ready to inject medicine into Bob. The hypodermic syringe she uses contains a medicine with the same density as water. The barrel of the syringe has a cross-sectional area of 2.50 x 10^-5 m^2. The cross-sectional area of the needle is 1.0 x 10^-8 m^2. In the absence of a force on the plunger, the pressure everywhere is atmospheric pressure. A 2.0 N force is exerted on the plunger, making medicine squirt from the needle to insure there is no air in the needle prior to giving the shot. Determine the speed of the emerging fluid. Assume that the pressure in the needle remains at atmospheric pressure, that the syringe is horizontal, and the speed of the emerging fluid is the same as the speed of the fluid in the needle.
Relevant Equations
(P1) + ρg(y1) + 0.5ρ(v1)^2 = (P2) + ρg(y2) + 0.5ρ(v2)^2
P=F/A
(A1)(v1) = (A2)(v2)

Did I do this problem correctly? I felt like I did this wrong because the answer is suppose to be around 50 m/s.

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...
