AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding velocity-time graphs, specifically seeking formulas for displacement, instantaneous velocity, acceleration, and average velocity. The user expresses difficulty in following their teacher's explanations and notes, which are described as sporadic and disorganized. They aim to clarify these concepts by reorganizing their notes and consulting external resources. The user has already made progress on the first two questions related to the topic. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges of learning complex physics concepts without clear guidance.

Homework Statement


There are many variables and many questions, I'd just like to know how to go about it because I can't seem to understand the teacher and he's always in the way when he writes down equations, also he's a bit sporadic when it comes to giving us notes, jumping from subject to subject.




- Need formula for displacement on a velocity-time graphs and where (and how) i find the variables

- Need formula for instantaneous velocity from a velocity-time graph and where (and how) i find the variables

- Need formula for acceleration from a velocity-time graph and where (and how) i find the variables


Last but not least

- Need formula for average velocity from a velocity-time graph and where (and how) i find the variables

Homework Equations


- This is what I'm trying to find



The Attempt at a Solution


I've read through my notes many times but they seem too sporadic and unorganized so i plan on re-doing the notes based on this post


thanks!

huge thanks, shooting start! i'll let you know how it goes.. ill be spending a while on there...

ps i got the first 2 questions done correctly (i hope) sofar ... hopefully this page will make the rest a little clearer
 
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...
