Projectile motion - no angle given?

AI Thread Summary
Projectile motion problems can be solved without an angle if time and range are provided. The key is to use the equations of motion to derive the necessary parameters. Previous calculations in the discussion outline the method to find the solution. Understanding the relationship between time, range, and initial velocity is crucial. The discussion confirms that it is indeed possible to solve for projectile motion without an angle.

projectile motion - no angle given?

how do i solve for a problem if no angle is given? only time and range is given.

what is the exact question?
 
I assume you are referring to your last post?
It is possible to calculate the question without angle. Check your previous post. Calculation are given.
 
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...
