    How Can I Prepare for the International Physics Olympiad as a Freshman?

    I have a blog that contains some physics problems and solutions. I think its good to improve your physics skill. Also, I have a download link to some IPhO problems on the same blog. Here is the link of my blog: http://collectionofphysicsproblems.blogspot.com" I hope it would be useful.

    Is it possible to find the answer?

    Yes, it is. In the middle of earth, no acceleration, but we still have velocity. You can use gravitational acceleration inside of earth: [TAB]g'=GMr/R^3 where r is distance from center of earth, R is Earth's radius, and M is Earth's mass. It's just like a simple harmonic oscillation.

    How can the work required to remove a solid ball from water be calculated?

    Hmm... Wouldn't it really need integral? If I use archimedes buoyancy force, it would... W=integral(ρgV dh)

    Solve the Ball Collision Problem: Angle α and Friction!

    Can we consider the initial condition only? There's also gravitational force and air friction on both balls. It's hard to imagine...

    Solve the Ball Collision Problem: Angle α and Friction!

    The thrown ball, because it has initial velocity, and the other ball doesn't. How's my answer?

    Solve the Ball Collision Problem: Angle α and Friction!

    Homework Statement Two identical small balls are shown in picture above. A ball is thrown from the ground and another ball is dropped without any initial velocity. First, consider no air friction. In order to make the balls collide each other, the ball on ground has to make an angle α from...
