Visualize Horizontal Motion: Draw Diagram & Graphs

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on visualizing horizontal motion through motion diagrams and graphs. A baseball is thrown by a pitcher at 40 m/s, and after half a second, a batter hits it at 60 m/s, with the ball being caught one second later. Participants are encouraged to create a motion diagram, a position-versus-time graph, and a velocity-versus-time graph to illustrate this scenario. Relevant equations for calculating the motion should be included, along with a detailed attempt at the solution. The emphasis is on accurately representing the horizontal motion of the baseball throughout the sequence of events.

A pitcher winds up and throws a baseball with a speed of 40 m/s. One-half second later the batter hits a line drive with a speed of 60 m/s. The ball is caugh 1 s after it is hit. From where you are sitting, the batter is to the right of the pitcher. Draw your motion diagram and graph for the horizonal motion of the ball.

You need to include the relevant equations (or what you think they are), and show an attempt at a solution -- those sections you deleted when you made your post.
 

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...
