AI Thread Summary
To determine the mathematical relationship between two quantities that are inversely proportional, a graphical method involves plotting one quantity against the reciprocal of the other. Specifically, for the relationship between acceleration (AVS) and the reciprocal of total mass (1/Mtot), the graph should display a straight line, indicating that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. The key is to flip the graph along the y=x axis to visualize the inverse relationship clearly. Understanding this relationship is crucial for lab work due tomorrow, as it directly relates to the principles of force. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accurately representing inverse proportionality in graphical form.

hi there i am new to this , and might be posting at the wrong place, this is the first time I've posted.i really need somehelp with this guys.
does any1 know how to answer this

"Suggest a graphical method to determine the mathematical relationship between two quantities which are inversely proportional to each other.".

also what is the relationship between avs 1/Mtot ... acceleration vs. the reciprocal of mass total.

pls reply ASAP, labs due tomorrow ;(

flip along the y=x axis.
The relationship is force.
 

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...
