Projectile + Circular Motion Help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a physics problem that combines projectile and circular motion theories, with examples like slingshots or balls on strings. A suggestion is made to consider the motion of an electron in a uniform magnetic field. The original poster mentions working on electrons in a mass spectrometer. A link to a related physics forum thread is shared for additional assistance. The conversation highlights the need for practical applications of these physics concepts.

Hi
i am studying senior physics and in need of a problem that includes both PROJECTILE and CIRCULAR motion theory in one!
eg. slingshot, ball on string etc..
could anyone help me formulate a problem or provide me with a web site?

thanks a lot

How about an electron being launched in a region of uniform magnetic field?

hi
yeh, I am doing the electrons in a mass spectrometre and in mag. field
any questions?
 

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'

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...
