Calculating the time of an falling object provding with only speed and weight

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the time it takes for a stone to reach the ground when falling at a speed of 32 m/s and with a weight of 24 N, one can use the formula for free fall under gravity, neglecting air resistance. The stone's weight indicates a mass of approximately 2.45 kg (using the equation weight = mass × gravity). Assuming the stone is dropped from rest, the time can be calculated using the equation of motion: distance = initial velocity × time + 0.5 × acceleration × time². Given that the initial velocity is 0 and acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s², the time can be derived from the height of the building. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing work and understanding the principles of physics in problem-solving.

Question: A stone is falling from the top of a buliding with 32m/s.
Air resistance is so small that it can be neglected.
the weight of the stone is 24N.
Calculate the time in second which the stone takes to reache the ground.

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}...
