I How to get R= 2 ( square root ) h1h2

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the equation for the range (R) of a ball launched horizontally from a ramp, given initial conditions of zero velocity and specific heights (h1 for the ramp and h2 for the table). It emphasizes the neglect of air resistance and friction in the calculations. Participants suggest that understanding energy and kinematic equations is crucial for solving the problem. One user indicates they will post the question in the Homework Forum for further assistance. The conversation highlights the importance of foundational physics concepts in solving projectile motion problems.

A ball is let down a ramp on top of a table with initial velocity of 0 ms-1. When it reaches the end of the ramp, it is launched horizontally. Knowing that we don’t take air resistance or friction into account, and that the height of the ramp is h1, and that of the table is h2 relative to ground level,how do we get to the equation R (range or distance traveled from the end of the ramp) = 2√(h1h2)

You may want to post this in the Homework Forum. Do you know about energy and kinematic equations?

i’m studying the kinematic equations right now and I still haven’t been able to do this exercise. I’ll post right now in the homework section, didn’t know there was one . Thank you PeroK
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
