Grade 11 Physics Homework Help :]

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a Grade 11 physics homework question regarding the relationship between average velocity and instantaneous velocity during constant acceleration on a displacement vs. time graph. Participants clarify the terms initial velocity (Vi) and final velocity (Vf) while encouraging the original poster to approach the problem using basic physics concepts. There is a mix of frustration and humor as some contributors express confusion over the terminology used. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding foundational physics principles to solve the problem effectively. Overall, the thread highlights the collaborative effort to assist with academic challenges in physics.

Hi guys, please help me out on this question, I am doing a Position x Time Graph Lab (displacement vs time). and For the analyzing and interpreting questions, i have this question I am stuck on ...



2. For constant acceleration, how does the average velocity for an interval compare with the instantaneous velocity at half-time in the interval?

Note: This is basic physics (grade 11 University Physics Course).
for a Displacement vs Time Graph.

What do you think? If you call the initial and final velocities for the interval Vi & Vf, how would you express the two quantities in question?

(I assume this question is restricted to motion in one dimension.)
 
dude what are u smoking :O

wtf is Vi, and Vf?

all i know is Velocity, Speed, Acceleration and Displacement. None of that university level **** u just said :o

cmon can i just awnser it in basic terms? its my first year in physics :@

Vi = Initial Velocity
Vf = Final Velocity
 
"Dude", we are here to help. You could help yourself by stepping up your game a bit. This problem can be solved with 11th-grade reasoning powers. If you can please tell us how you are thinking through this problem, we can better guide you to the answer. Also, since you have an interest in the ignition habits of posters, I would recommend anything from Rocky Patel. Had a "Patel Brothers" recently. Quite intense.
 

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}...
