How do I get a formula that finds the initial velocity with height in it?

AI Thread Summary
To find a formula for initial velocity that incorporates height, the discussion centers around deriving the equation from the context of an inclined plane problem involving two steel balls in collision. The equation a(x - x_0) = (1/2)(v^2 - v_0^2) is mentioned, with a request to solve for v_0. Participants highlight the need for additional data, including the angle of the incline and any provided values. Clarification on the problem setup and any attempts made is also encouraged to facilitate the derivation. Understanding these elements is crucial for accurately determining the initial velocity in relation to height.

How do I get a formula that finds the initial velocity with height in it??
i was doing a inclined plane problem with is deal with 2 steel balls' collision~
could somebody help me to derivate that formula?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
a(x-x_0)=\frac{1}{2}(v^2-v_0^2)

Solve for v_0
 
ya and what is the angle of the inclined place..
 
I am not sure if you had supplied all given data, and of course, your attempt. :P
 

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}...
