Physics's projectile motion assignment

AI Thread Summary
In the projectile motion assignment, a darts player throws a dart aimed at the bullseye, which reaches the board in 0.25 seconds. To determine how far below the bullseye it lands, standard constant acceleration equations should be applied, first assuming no gravity and then incorporating gravitational acceleration. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using different thread titles for clarity. The solution involves calculating the vertical displacement due to gravity during the dart's flight time. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving similar physics problems effectively.

hi navjot singh! welcome to pf! :smile:

(but pleeeease don't use the same thread title for different problems! :rolleyes:)

if gravity was zero, it would hit the bullseye …

so use the standard constant acceleration equations twice, once for a = 0, and once for a = -g :wink:
 

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 '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...
