AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a physics problem involving a sphere rolling in a bowl, where the goal is to determine how high it rolls up the opposite side after descending. Key equations include the conservation of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE), as well as the frictional force related to the sphere's motion. Participants are encouraged to share their thought processes to clarify any difficulties in solving the problem. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between energy transformations and the effects of friction on motion. Overall, the thread emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in physics.

Homework Statement



A picture shows a sphere of radius R, mass m, sliding from rest down a bowl. At the bottom of the bowl the mass begins rolling with μ(s). Find an expression for how high it rolls up the other side of the bowl(y).

Homework Equations



PE=KE
f(s)=F(normal)(μs)
PE=mgh
KE=1/2mv^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I attempted but it won't look pretty online

Well, if you don't want to learn how to display it in tex code (which is perfectly understandable), at least tell us your thought process so we can figure out what you're having trouble with.
 

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 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
