AI Thread Summary
Long-range electricity transmission, particularly wireless methods, is a challenging concept with limited practical applications. Lightning is cited as an example, but it is not a viable method for consistent energy transfer. Tesla's theories on wireless transmission are referenced, yet their feasibility remains questionable. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on what constitutes "long-ranged electricity transmission." Overall, the topic raises important questions about the practicality of current technologies and theories in achieving effective long-range energy transfer.

Well...
I can say lightning is one example
maybe add some tesla's theory
i need 1 more point...

Welcome to the PF.

What is meant by "long ranged electricity transmission"? I would think they mean electrical transmission lines and such, not lightning. Lightning is not a very useful form of electrical transmission...
 
oops... i meant "long ranged wireless electricity transmission"

Ah. Not a very practical concept. Is the whole class writing this essay, or did you pick it yourself?

You can google what you have in your quoted phrase above, and get some ideas. But again, none are practical, AFAIK.
 

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...

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}...
