AI Thread Summary
A stone thrown vertically upwards takes 30 seconds to return to the ground, prompting a request for a solution to determine its maximum height. The discussion emphasizes applying equations of accelerated linear motion to find the answer. Key formulas include acceleration as the change in speed over time and average speed as the mean of initial and final speeds. Participants direct the questioner to standard physics equations available in the Physics Forums Library for further assistance. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving the problem.

Question

a stone is thrown vertically upwards. if it takes 30 seconds to return to the ground, How high does the stone go?..

I need asap solution

Hi there,

Come on. I believe you can answer that by yourself. You just need to apply the accelerated linear motion equations and you get to your answer
 
can u provide that linear accelerated motion...
 
Not really, but I can help you find them.

Acceleration is define as a variation of speed: a = \frac{v_1 - v_0}{t}

In the case of accelerated linear motion, the average speed is equal to the mean speed: \overline{v} = \frac{v_0 + v_1}{2}

From these three equations, you have the solution to your question.
 
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...
