AI Thread Summary
For extra credit in physics, students need to submit two recent articles related to the subject along with summaries. Local reference libraries often have a variety of physics magazines, with Scientific American being a recommended source that also offers full-length articles online. Numerous online platforms provide physics news articles, including Science Daily and NASA, which features engaging short articles. Google News can also be a useful tool for finding relevant articles. Exploring these resources can help fulfill the assignment requirements effectively.

So, for extra credit in my physics, i can submit 2 articles that are physics related and published within the previous three months with a page summary but i don't know what magazines i can find some. I don't think i can get them off the net so this is going to be hard because i don't have physics weekly magazines lying around =/
 
Physics news on Phys.org
try your local reference library for physics magazines, you'll be suprised how many there are. My favourite is Scientific American.
 
SA has some full-length articles online. For instance: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&colID=1&articleID=000CCC72-2AED-1264-980683414B7F0000
You may want longer, more in-depth articles, but there are lots of places to find physics news articles online, for instance:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/directory/Science/Physics
NASA has rather short but usually very interesting news articles
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/news_archive.htm
And I would check around the rest of NASA's site- it's huge.

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...
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 .
