AI Thread Summary
To find the distance the flowerpot falls from the windowsill to the top of the window, the time taken to pass the window (0.420 seconds) and the height of the window (1.90 meters) are used in the calculations. Ignoring air resistance, the distance fallen can be derived from the equations of motion. The initial solution provided indicates that the distance from the windowsill to the top of the window is approximately 0.31 meters. This calculation confirms the relationship between time, height, and free fall in physics.

A freefall problem

A flowerpot falls off a windowsill and falls past the window below. You may ignore air resistance. It takes the pot .420 s to pass this window, which is 1.90 m high. How far is the top of the window below the windowsill from which the flowerpot fell?

That looks good.
 

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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
