Completed Physics Experiments at College Level

AI Thread Summary
Completed physics experiments at the college level require thorough preparation and understanding of the subject matter. Students should review lab notes multiple times and familiarize themselves with the theory behind each experiment. It is essential to determine what measurements need to be taken and to create organized tables for data collection. Engaging actively in the lab is crucial, as the success of the experiment relies on individual effort and understanding. Proper preparation ensures a more effective and educational lab experience.

You need to prepare for Physics experiments. Experiments differ from class. You can sit in class and just look pretty and get away with it. It is just the lecturer that needs to perform. But when doing the experiment the outcome depends on you. So you need to come prepared to the labs. Read through the lab notes several times before the pracs days in advance. Determine what need to be measured. Construct tables for the measurements. Read up on the theory that the experiment is covering. Clear up any questions before you enter the pracs.

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}...

Thread 'Struggle to understand the concept of the 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...
