    Ball Projectiles
AI Thread Summary
To determine the height of a ball thrown at 26 m/s at a 20-degree angle after 2.8 seconds, one must calculate the vertical component of the initial velocity and apply kinematic equations. For the crate problem, the net force can be found by resolving the applied force into its components and subtracting the opposing forces. It's essential to consider both the x and y components when analyzing projectile motion and forces. Understanding the resolution of forces is crucial for solving these types of physics problems. Utilizing example problems from textbooks can provide clarity on these concepts.

Can anyone help with these 2?

I can't seem to figure out how to get the answer of 2.8m for this ...
IF you throw a ball at an initial velocity of 26 m/s at an angle of 20 above the horizontal, how high above the projection point is the ball after 2.8 s?

and also

You drag a crat weighing 311 N across a floor by pulling on a rope attatched to the crate. You exert a force of 450N on the rope inclined at 38 degrees, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of 125 N, the acceleration is ...
(do you add the forces, for total force? what do you do with the 38 degrees ?)

For the first one, what have you done? Have you split the components of velocity along the x-axis and y-axis?

For the second one, have you learned about the resolution of forces along the x and y directions.

If you have a book, try reading some example problems. This is very basic stuff.
 
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...
