AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on concerns regarding the potential link between mobile phone radiation and brain tumors, sparked by Peter's recent diagnosis. His father suspects that prolonged use of a mobile phone may have contributed to the tumor's development. Participants debate the necessity and methodology of conducting an investigation into this link. There is uncertainty about how to design an experiment to explore this issue effectively. The conversation emphasizes the need for more information before proceeding with any experimental approach.

Homework Statement



Peter was diagnosed with a tumour in his brain last week. According to his father, he has beem using his newly brought handphone to chat with his friends for long hours for long hours every night. This led to suspicion that the tumour was due to the prolonged exposure to radiation from the mobile phone.



Homework Equations



1.)How would you like to carry out the investigation?
2.)Is doing an experinment necessary?

The Attempt at a Solution



I have find the information regarding the question , did not know how to carry out the experiment/doing an experiment necessary?

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...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
