    Height Max
AI Thread Summary
To find the maximum height of an object thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 47 m/s at two-thirds of its maximum height, the relevant equations are V^2 - Vo^2 = 2gh and V^2 - Vo^2 = 2g(1/3H). The final velocity at the peak height is 0 m/s, and the velocity at two-thirds of the height is 47 m/s. By applying these equations, one can derive the maximum height by manipulating the equations and considering gravitational acceleration as a vector. The solution involves subtracting the equations to isolate variables and solve for the maximum height.

Homework Statement


An object is thrown vertically upward such that it has a speed of 47 m/s when it reaches two thirds of its maximum height above launch point. Find maximum height h.



Homework Equations



V^2-Vo^2 = 2gh
or
V^2-Vo^2 = 2g(1/3H)?

The Attempt at a Solution


Final velocity= 0 m/s
Velocity at 2/3h= 47 m/s
Acceleration of gravity=9.8 m/s^2

dont confuse yourself .. You can solve the following equations to get the max. Height :

(47)^2 - vo^2 = 2g(2/3) ymax
0 - vo^2 = 2g ymax

You can as a start subtract the second equation from the first .. And keep in mind that you are using g as a vector not a scalar value in that equation ..
 

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...
