AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student struggling with a challenging physics study guide due to time constraints from moving. They seek assistance in answering quiz-like questions in preparation for an imminent test. Forum members emphasize the importance of effort and understanding, encouraging the student to attempt solutions and share their thought process. Specific answers are provided for some questions, but members insist on the student finding the formula for one question independently. The conversation highlights the balance between seeking help and the necessity of personal effort in learning.

So my physics teacher is kinda of a pain in the *** and likes giving quiz-like study guides in which we have to answer questions, just so we can study from it! I, unfortunately, am in the middle of moving, and have no time to do this! The test is tomorrow. Please, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Welcome to Physics Forums,

Sure, we'll help you with your quiz, but we won't do it for you. You need to put some effort in, either by posting attempted solutions or at the very least by detailing your thoughts on each problem.

Those in green are correct. You need to rethink those in red.

For question six, have you tried reading your class notes and looking for a formula?

Thanks, and yeah I have, but I packed it up with t he rest of my stuff. I'll find it online though
 
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}...
