Change in Velocity Homework Solution

AI Thread Summary
To find the change in velocity of water in the pipe, the entry and exit velocities must be expressed as vectors in xy coordinates. The change in velocity is calculated using the equation V1 - V2, where V1 is the entry velocity and V2 is the exit velocity. The subtraction of these vectors will yield the resultant change in velocity. It is essential to draw the resultant vector to visualize the change. This approach will provide a clear understanding of the velocity change in the system.

Welcome to the PF. I believe that they want you to calculate the change in vector velocity. So express the entry velocity as a vector in xy coordinates, and the exit velocity in xy coordinates. The difference is just the subtraction of the two vectors, carried out with components.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

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...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
