Need help with this homework problem, shouldn't be too hard

AI Thread Summary
To find the energy level of light with a frequency of 4.3 x 10^14 Hz, use the formula E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. The user initially struggled with the calculation but clarified their intent to express the frequency in joules. After receiving guidance, they confirmed their understanding of the formula and expressed gratitude for the assistance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of clear communication in problem-solving. Overall, the correct application of E=hf leads to the desired energy calculation.

1. E=hf "find the energy level of light with a frequency of 4.3 x 10 so the 14th jules



2. E=hf


3. Have no clue, tried multiplying Plancks constant by frequency but idk if its right

Can you at least try to use understandable English? What does "so the 14th jules" mean? But yes, E=hf, so you just multiply frequency by h to get energy. (I assume you mean energy and not energy level. Energy level is an entirely different concept.)
 
Sorry about that I meant to write TO the 14th joule, but thanks for the help I think I got it.
 
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'
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...
