AI Thread Summary
The exercise involves a particle P moving at constant speed v along the X-axis, with its initial position at x0 = 0. The discussion centers on how to describe this movement in a rotating reference frame O' with a constant angular velocity ω. Participants suggest differentiating the position expression to find velocity and acceleration vectors, emphasizing the need to consider Coriolis and centrifugal effects. There is uncertainty about whether the initial expression for position is sufficient or if further calculations are necessary. Ultimately, the approach of differentiating again to account for the forces in the rotating frame is confirmed as a valid method.

Hello.

I have the following exercise, and I would like you to say to me if I have it right and how to proceed:

"A particle P moves with constant speed v along the X axis of a reference system O, being x0 = 0 the position in t = 0. Describe the movement on another system O' with the same origin of coordinates and rotating with angular velocity constant ω in the sense clockwise."

I have tried to solve as follows:

So far, is my point correct?

Now, I had thought find the acceleration:

Is it correct?

Thank you!

Why don't you just differentiate again?
But I'm not sure what the question is asking for. Isn't your expression for r' an adequate description? Do you need to find the velocity and acceleration vectors?

Eventually I realized I could differentiate again. I believed that in this case I need to apply Coriolis and centrifugal acceleration, but I was reading and saw that could also solve in this way a moment ago.
 
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...
