What is the momentum at maximum height?

AI Thread Summary
At maximum height, the velocity of the ball of dough is indeed zero, which directly affects its momentum. Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity, so if velocity is zero, the momentum is also zero regardless of the mass. The discussion highlights the relationship between momentum and velocity, emphasizing that momentum ceases when an object reaches its peak height. Understanding this concept is crucial in physics, particularly in analyzing projectile motion. Thus, the momentum of the ball at maximum height is zero.

Hey guys, I'm new to this website and I don't really know how it works, but if somebody can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

A 0.11 kg ball of dough is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 11 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. What is the momentum at the maximum height?

What is the relationship between momentum and velocity, and what happens to velocity at a maximum height?
 
I guess it's just 0 becuase it's at the top so the velocity is zero
 
Yup.
 

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...
