    Balls Height
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the time at which two balls, one dropped and one shot upwards, reach the same height. The user has calculated that the gravity ball takes 1.53 seconds to fall, while the ball shot upwards takes 0.6 seconds to reach its peak. The main question is to find the specific time when both balls are at equal heights during their motion. Further calculations are needed to establish a relationship between their heights over time. The thread emphasizes the need for a clear understanding of the equations of motion to solve the problem effectively.

What have you tried so far? What will be the height of each ball at any instant in time?
 
I calculated how much time it would take for each ball to cover that distance.

Gravity ball - 1.53 seconds
Ball being shot up - .6 seconds


I just need to know at what time both of them are at the same height.
 

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'

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...
