Construct a possible graph for the x velocity versus time, v_x(t)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on constructing velocity versus time graphs based on a provided motion diagram. Participants are asked to create graphs for both x velocity (v_x(t)) and y velocity (v_y(t)), noting the uniform distance on the x-axis compared to the non-uniform distance on the y-axis. This difference suggests that the x velocity is likely constant while the y velocity may vary. The emphasis is on accurately reflecting the motion characteristics observed in the diagram. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurately depicting the motion in the graphs.

For the motion diagram given , sketch the shape of the corresponding motion graphs in Parts A to D. Use the indicated coordinate system. One unit of time elapses between consecutive dots in the motion diagram.

I've already constructed an x vs t and y vs t graph please help me with these because i don't know how to do these.
Construct a possible graph for the x velocity versus time, v_x(t).
Construct a possible graph for the y velocity versus time, v_y(t).

Look carefully - distance on x-axis varies uniformly whereas it does not on y-axis. Does this suggest something to you?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
