Does Temperature Affect the Time to Reach Thermal Equilibrium?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between temperature variations in one test tube and the time required to reach thermal equilibrium in another test tube with a constant temperature. Participants seek to understand how increasing the temperature of water affects the energy dynamics involved in reaching equilibrium. There is a request for a specific equation to quantify this relationship, indicating a need for a clearer experimental design. The initial responses highlight the need for more detailed information about the experimental setup to provide accurate guidance. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the complexity of thermal dynamics and the importance of precise measurements in experiments.

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...
