AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses a homework problem with three parts involving physics concepts. For part I, the correct path of the falling wheel is identified as option C. In part II, the forces acting on a crate during the lorry's acceleration are best represented by option C as well. For part III, the discrepancy in ammeter readings is likely due to option D, indicating that at least one ammeter may be malfunctioning. Overall, the answers provided align with the physics principles discussed.

Homework Statement


This problem includes three parts, marked I, II and III.
I-The aircraft in the figure is flying at a constant
horizontal speed. Suddenly a wheel comes off the
landing gear. Which one of the four paths describes
that of the falling wheel as seen by an observer on the
ground?
II-A heavy crate rests on the bed of a lorry, as shown in the figure. The lorry
begins to move forwards, but the friction prevents the crate from sliding
on the bed. Which one of the four diagrams below best describes the
forces acting on the crate during the acceleration?
III-There are two ammeters in the circuit in the diagram. The
reading of meter A1 is 0.35 A, and that of meter A2 is 0.25 A.
The most likely explanation for the discrepancy between the
readings is that
A the resistance of meter A2 is smaller than that of meter A1
B the resistance of meter A2 is larger than that of meter A1.
C because of the resistor connected between the two ammeters, less current reaches meter
A2.
D at least one of the ammeters is out of order

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}...
