Homework Statement



A perfectly spherical golf ball with a specific gravity of 0.55 is dropped from a height of 10 m above the surface of a smooth lake. Determine the maximum depth to which the ball will sink. Neglect any frictional loses or energy transferred to the water during impact and sinking.


Homework Equations



P=pressure ρ=density h or Y=depth g=9.8 Patmospheric=1.01e3 V=velocity

The Attempt at a Solution


I got velocity =14 m/s with free fall first. Then I did Bernoulli's.

P1 + ρgY1 + .5ρ(V1^2) = P2 + ρgY2 + .5ρ(V2^2)

1.01e3 + [STRIKE]ρg(0)[/STRIKE] +.5(550)(14^2) = (1000)(9.8)(h)+(550)(9.8)(h) + [STRIKE].5(ρ)(0)[/STRIKE]

54910 = (1000)(9.8)(h) +(550)(9.8)(h)

h = 3.6149 m




I would really really appreciate help! :)

errr why do you think you have to use Bernoulli's equation here ? I don't think it has any application here.
 
Oh never mind, I got the answer. Thanks for replying though! :) have a great day

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
