    Ball Point
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the highest point of a swinging ball attached to a 120cm string, one must consider the vertical distance from the center point (c.point) to the fixed peg, which is 75cm. The discussion highlights the importance of visual aids, such as diagrams, to clarify the problem. The original poster later found the solution independently, indicating that the calculations involve understanding the geometry of the swing and the peg's position. The interaction emphasizes the need for clear definitions and visual representations in physics problems. Ultimately, the highest point achieved by the ball can be determined through proper analysis of the swing's mechanics.

there is a ball attach to a string of 120cm attach to a centre point.
on the bottom,there is a fixed peg where the vertical distance from the c.point is 75cm.
as the ball swing,it hits the peg and goes up beyond,may i know how to find the highest point it goes??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
vertical distance from the c.point is 75cm.
What does c.point mean??
Is there a diagram that is associated with thiws question, that you can post? It would help us, help you
 
oh.okok..nvm.i have just found the solution.thanx
 

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}...
