    Physics Urgent
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student needing to verify a physics theory from their textbook through home or school experiments, with a tight deadline. The topics available include kinematics, work and energy, and thermodynamics, among others. The student is looking for innovative ideas that go beyond standard experiments already covered in class. Suggestions include using a thermos and thermometer to demonstrate the Q=mct formula, but the student finds this approach too simplistic. The urgency of the request highlights the need for creative and practical experimental ideas to validate physics theories.

Our teacher has asked us to verifiy a theory given in our textbook using observations taken by perorming actual experiments using stuff at home or by using ur schools physics or chem lab... the topics we have are kinematics, work and energy, rotational mechanics, gravitation, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, waves and oscillation... there are lots of theories in the textbook... the aim is to verify any theory using observations taken from everyday phenomena, i have until the day after tomorow to submit, i can't do any experiments that we perform as part of our regular course like friction down an inclined plane simple pendulum and viscosity etc... please HELP!

Why don't u just use a thermos and a thermometer and heat water to verify the Q=mct formula?
 
thats ... well... too simple... thnx tho
 

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...
