One second after vertical projection

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a physics problem involving vertical projection, where a body is at a height of 10 meters and still moving upward. The goal is to determine the initial speed and the height it will reach one second later, as well as compute the maximum height. The relevant equation provided is vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad, with vf set to 0 m/s at the peak of the motion. Participants are encouraged to consider other SUVAT equations that may assist in solving the problem. The conversation emphasizes understanding the kinematic equations related to projectile motion.

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...
