AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving an acceleration-time graph from a velocity-time graph, confirming that a negative slope in the velocity graph indicates a straight line for acceleration. Participants agree that the reasoning behind the negative acceleration is correct, reinforcing the relationship between velocity and acceleration. The conversation highlights confidence in understanding basic calculus principles related to motion. Overall, the consensus is that the interpretation of the graphs is accurate and well-supported. The collaborative nature of the discussion emphasizes the importance of peer feedback in solving physics problems.

I believe that that is correct because since the velocity has the same negative slope, the acceleration should be a straight line. And in your attempt, the acceleration is negative and just a line, that answer is correct I believe.
 
yup .. has to be correct... MysticDude's reasoning looks right too.

Alright, I guess I know my calculus basics eh? Oh and thanks for the friend request.
 
Yep, it's correct. Thank you for your help guys.
 

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...
