AI Thread Summary
Androcles drives his car forward, accelerating and then decelerating to a stop 100 meters away from his starting point. After discovering that Allegra is not home, he reverses the car back to its original parking spot. The discussion involves sketching graphs that represent position, velocity, and acceleration over time during these movements. Participants emphasize the importance of using the appropriate forum sections for homework-related queries. The conversation highlights the need for clear problem presentation and adherence to forum guidelines.

Androcles wishes to visit Allegra who lives down the street. Androcles’ car is parked on the street. He drives it forward, accelerating then decelerating to stop 100 m ahead. Then he rings the door bell and discovers Allegra is not at home. He then gets back in his car and drives the car in reverse, back to his usual parking place. Sketch a possible graph of the position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time.

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...
