    Frictionless Ramp
AI Thread Summary
A 10 kg mass is pushed along a frictionless track by an applied force at a 45-degree angle, covering 50 meters before launching up a ramp to a height of 57 meters. The net force acting on the mass is calculated using Fnet=ma, while work done is determined through the relationship w=ke+pe. The discussion seeks to find the total work done by the applied force and its magnitude. The angle of the ramp is also questioned, indicating a need for clarification on the ramp's specifications. Understanding these calculations is essential for solving the problem accurately.

1. A 10 kg mass initially at rest is pushed along a level frictionless track by an applied force angled at 45 degrees. The force is exerted for 50m before the mass reaches a ramp and is launched upward to a maximum of 57 meters. how much work did the force do on the mass and what is the magnitude of the applied force.

2. Fnet=ma
w=ke+pe

3. I am not sure where to start

What was the angle of the ramp?
 

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...
