AI Thread Summary
To convert millimeters per second (mm/s) to meters per second (m/s), divide the value in mm/s by 1000, as there are 1000 millimeters in a meter. This conversion is relevant for calculating the drift velocity of electrons. The factor label method can be used for clarity in unit conversions. Online tools like Google or specific calculators can also assist with these conversions. Understanding this conversion is essential for accurate measurements in physics.

I wanted to know how to covert mm/s to m/s. This units are associated with the drift velocity of electrons.
Thanks :confused:

...divide by 1000. There are 1000 millimeters in a meter ("m" stands for "milli"). In general, you can do unit conversions on google or http://qonos.princeton.edu/nbond/unicalc/calculator.php .

Do a "factor label method"

\frac{mm}{s}*\frac{1 meter}{1000 mm}

Then cross out the mm's.

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 .
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...
