AI Thread Summary
Velocity can be calculated using different formulas depending on whether acceleration is provided. When acceleration is not given, the formula used is v = change in x / change in t, indicating constant speed. If acceleration is known, the formula becomes v = v0 + at, where v0 is the initial velocity. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between constant speed and accelerated motion. Understanding these formulas is crucial for accurately calculating velocity in various scenarios.

what is that mean :

Use Formula v = changing of x / changing of v when don't given acceleration :

but use Formula :
v = v0 + at when given acceleration

please I want the help

thanks

I think you mean:

speed = distance / time
If the speed is constant, so no acceleration

And final V = starting V + acceleration * time
When there there is acceleration
 
thanks my dear
 
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 .
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...
