AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user seeking clarification on the second half of a physics question related to calculating the final speed of a car using kinetic energy. The user expresses gratitude for previous assistance but remains confused and requests equations or methods for solving the problem. Another participant identifies the specific question about accelerating a 1000 kg car from rest and suggests using the kinetic energy formula to find the final speed. The conversation highlights the need for clear communication and problem-solving in physics discussions. Overall, the focus is on understanding how to apply kinetic energy principles to determine the car's final speed.

Thanks Tide but i still don't understand the second half of the question!

Hey Tide, thanks 4 helping me wif the first part but I am still stumped on the second part. Can u please give me some equations or a means of solving the question about the velocity of the car? Thanx!

You started a new thread and didn't copy the problem here so I have no idea what you are asking. I searched for "Alonzo" and got "this is a tricky one" but that was answered by Arildno, not Tide.

Hopefully Tide will know what you are talking about!
 
Okay, I found it. (Alonzo is a "damsel"?)

? if all of that energy could be used to accelerate a 1000 kg car from rest, what would be the car's final speed?

The kinetic energy (1/2)m v2 would have to be equal to "all of that energy". Solve for v.
 
Thanks, Halls! I just found the problem she was referring too as well.
 

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...
