Homework Statement
A mass has a maximum speed of 1.905 m/s when it is at the lowest point of a pendulum swing. The lowest point is 0.5984 meters off the floor. At which horizontal position on the floor from the pendulum equilibrium position must a target be placed to hit the center of the target?
Relevant Equations
mgh=1/2mv^2
d=vt
Tried to find time in seconds in order to use the formula d=vt and find the distance in the x plane in which the target must be placed, to no avail.

Nevermind I found time from release to landing by using the formula t=(2dy/g)^1/2

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...
