AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on two specific problems from a set of scans, with the user expressing uncertainty about their answers for questions 5 and 10. For question 5, the user believes the answer could be B or E, reasoning that the graph's starting point indicates motion and friction. In question 10, the user has selected E, but doubts its correctness, noting that acceleration is the primary takeaway from the graph. Additional insights clarify that the answers for both questions hinge on understanding net force and mass relationships in physics. The user invites others to verify their answers and explore the problems further.

I'm sure that I have all the answers right except for number 5 and number 10.

On number 5, I think the answer is either B or E.

I think it is B because if the cart is already in motion when the timer starts, then the graph would start on the y-axis instead of all the way over to the right.

I also think that the answer is E because the distance between the graph and the y-axis indicate the friction that the force have to overcome to be able to make the cart go.

For number 10.

Somehow my answer does not seem right. I have E as an answer because the only thing I could get out of that graph is acceleration.

Please check on these two problems (number 5 and 10) and do any problem that you are interested in. Thank you very much.

I'm only going to look at 5 and 10.

For number 5, it means that there is zero acceleration for a non-zero force. I'll leave it up to you to determine what answer choice that leads to.

Hint: In the formula F = ma, F is the NET force acting on an object.
 
10 looks good. Understand why:

It's not A because distance covered would be the area underneath each curve (clearly not the same for I and II)

It's not B because the inertial mass is the 'm' in F = ma, and although the two objects appear to have roughly the same acceleration, suggesting that there is a constant force acting on each one, that does not necessitate them having the same mass. It could be that they have different masses and are being acted upon by two *different* forces (eliminating D as well). These two different forces could differ by just the right amount in order to have the two objects of differing mass accelerate at the same rate.

It's not C because gravity is not relevant to the problem.

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...
