AI Thread Summary
A dart player throws a dart horizontally from a distance of 3.2 meters at a speed of 12.4 m/s. The calculation involves determining the time it takes for the dart to reach the board and the vertical displacement due to gravity during that time. The vertical movement is influenced by the dart's initial vertical velocity, which is zero, leading to a downward displacement of 0.326 meters. The discussion emphasizes understanding the physics of projectile motion to solve the problem. The participant ultimately gains clarity on the solution process.

a dart player, standing 3.2m away from the darboard... thorws a dart horizontally...

A dart player, standing 3.2m away from the dartboard, throws a dart horizontally at a speed of 12.4m/s. How far from the bull's eye(where the player aimed) did the dart stirke?

Answer: dy=0.326m (give a direction...


i don't get it, if you could show me how you got it, I've been trying and trying to solve it, but it doesn't work...

help is grealy appreciated , thanks.

Well first consider the time it takes to hit the dart board..

then consider the vertical movement of the object (hint: what is the dart's initial vertical velocity?) and think gravity (constant acceleration...)... then how far it moved (vertically) in the time it takes to strike the dartboard...

can't say much more or I'd be giving the answer away...
 


oh, ok thanks i got it from here.

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}...
