AI Thread Summary
Understanding particle physics homework presents challenges such as interpreting terms like "maximum" and correctly labeling forces, including the nuclear force. Students often struggle with visual representations, as seen in the request for clearer diagrams and guidance on drawing forces accurately. There is confusion regarding how changes in proton numbers affect particle deflection. Additionally, the forum emphasizes the importance of focusing on one question per thread for clarity. Clear communication and structured questions are essential for effective learning in particle physics.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



for label the force, should I show the arrow pointing downwards? is the force nuclear force?

if replaced by greater proton number, then surely, more deflection

for the next diagram i want to draw lines with twice as much curl, because that's what I feel it is. but to explain it, I need some clues

Sorry.
 
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...
