Discover the Acceleration of a Block on a Slope without Air Resistance

AI Thread Summary
The acceleration of a block sliding down a slope without air resistance can be calculated using the formula a = g * sin(θ), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²) and θ is the angle of the slope. For a 20-degree slope, the acceleration would be approximately 3.39 m/s². The mass of the block does not affect the acceleration in this scenario. It is important to provide specific details or calculations when seeking help with physics problems. Understanding the underlying principles is crucial for solving similar problems in the future.

You need to show us something of what you have done or at least ask a specific question about the problem. Please read the homework guidelines at the top of the homework forum.
 
i did..

what will "a" be if the block is 10 kg at a slope of 20 degrees
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

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...
