AI Thread Summary
To sketch a velocity vs. time graph for a ball thrown upwards and then returning to the hand, first create a vertical position vs. time graph showing the ball's ascent and descent. The velocity vs. time graph will be the derivative of the position graph, starting with a positive value as the ball rises, reaching zero at the peak, and then becoming negative as it falls back down. Time should be plotted on the horizontal axis for both graphs. This method effectively illustrates the changes in velocity throughout the motion of the ball. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurately representing motion in physics.

Velocity-Vs Time Graphs -- 2nd problem

How would i sketch a velocity vs time graph for the following scenario:

A ball is thrown up out of a person's hand, it rises and then returns to the person's hand.

I just don't know how to illustrate this on a velocity vs time graph

Thanks

Sketch the vertical position versus time graph. Then sketch the derivative of that graph. Put time on the horizontal axis for both graphs.
 

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...
