    Solving for Velocity: How to Integrate a Complex Function with Constants?

    I sincerely apologize for my lack of explanations. v is velocity and t is time. The rest are just constants. I want to integrate velocity vs. time to find the displacement equation

    Solving for Velocity: How to Integrate a Complex Function with Constants?

    Homework Statement Integrate $$v = \sqrt{2g\frac{T-v \pi r^2t}{\pi R^2}}$$ where g,T,r,R are constants Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution I tried playing around with the variables, but I am not sure how to integrate this. Just give me a little bit of hint would do. Thanks!

    Calculate time for water to leak completely

    Hey SteamKing, After following your suggestions, I was able to find the relationship between velocity and time: $$h = \frac{T-v \pi r^2t}{\pi R^2}$$ where T is the volume of the water, r is the radius of the hole, R is the radius of the container, and t is time $$v = \sqrt{2g\frac{T-v \pi...

    Calculate time for water to leak completely

    Both height and velocity change with time. Can I replace velocity with dh/dt?

    [IB] Physics Extended Essay

    Unfortunately my knowledge of air resistance is very limited. The worst case would be assuming the birdie to be a sphere, and add uncertainties to the function. I believe my teachers would be fine with that. When you mention simulation, do you mean to create a computer simulation from scratch...

    [IB] Physics Extended Essay

    The hypothesis, or the calculation is done as a function: V = f(position, hit angle) where V is the initial velocity needed for the birdie to travel back so that it lands just at the back boundary line position is the position of the birdie hit angle is the angle at which the racket is going...

    [IB] Physics Extended Essay

    Hello! The calculation is just solving kinematic equations for 2d projectile which excludes air resistance. I am comparing this equation with how birdie travels realistically by doing video analysis. Do you think this qualifies as a valid physics lab?

    [IB] Physics Extended Essay

    Sorry I didn't post this using the template :c, since this is not a Physics problem to solve. Hello everyone, I hope this is the right section to ask this.. I am in a program called International Baccalaureate and I need to write a 4000 word essay on Physics. My investigation is related to 2D...

    QM & Speed of Light: A Random Thinking

    Just to clarify: I only have very rudimentary knowledge of Physics, so please correct me if I am wrong. This thought came to my mind after I discovered some youtube videos and articles on the double slit experiment: AFAIK, if the information of which path the electron takes is obtained, there...
