AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the intersection of physics and hiking, specifically seeking sources for a project on this topic. Key points include the need for clarification on what "Physics in Hiking" entails, such as body physiology or energy expenditure. An example provided is the increase in gravitational potential energy when hiking uphill. Participants are encouraged to share useful resources or examples related to the physics of hiking. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the physical principles involved in hiking activities.

I have to do this project on how hiking in physics. I have some sources but would like more. If anyone here knows a good site that will help me, please inform me. Thank you.

Please elaborate what is meant by "Physics in Hiking". Does mean with respect to body or physiology, or energy expended over distance?

For instance, if one hikes up hill, one increases one's gravitational potential energy.

If possible, please provide an example of one's sources.
 

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}...
