    A-level Physics
AI Thread Summary
A PhD student is seeking feedback on a "Lay Report" intended for an audience familiar with A-Level physics concepts. They are unsure if their writing is appropriate for this level and are looking for volunteers to review the report for clarity and accessibility. One user, who recently completed A-Level physics and is now studying it at university, offers assistance and encourages others to join in. The student plans to share the report later, contingent on finding willing reviewers. Constructive criticism is welcomed to ensure the report meets the intended audience's understanding.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this - hopefully it's in the right place!

I am a PhD student and am applying for a fellowship which includes writing a "Lay Report".

This report has to be understood by someone who has recently taken physics at A-level (UK) ... the trouble is, I don't know anyone like this (or at least no-one who has done it recently enough to remember what they learnt!)

So, I thought I'd try asking for help on here... would anyone be willing to read my report and give me feedback? - I'd appreciate knowing if I've aimed it too high/too low and whether I've put in the odd word that's too advanced. Any other constructive criticism would be great too.

I'll post it a bit later - after I know if anyone will actually read it, so please reply if you are willing to help.

Thanks,

Jenga

I did A-level physics last year (finished in July). Now I'm doing physics at university, so some knowledge of the topics I studied at A level has been retained.

If you think I could help you, contact me or post a link to your report on here.
 
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}...
