Projectile motion only provided acceleration diatance

AI Thread Summary
To determine the initial vertically upward speed and horizontal speed of a projectile, it's essential to differentiate between vertical and horizontal displacements. The vertical displacement only accounts for the distance from launch to maximum height, while the horizontal displacement covers the entire trajectory. It is crucial to recognize that only horizontal acceleration is zero, necessitating the use of equations that incorporate vertical acceleration. The discussion highlights a common misunderstanding in applying these principles to solve projectile motion problems. Accurate calculations require careful attention to these distinctions.

1. You have mixed up vertical and horizontal displacements.
2. The given vertical displacement is from launch to max height, but the given horizontal displacement is for the whole trajectory.
3. Only the horizontal acceleration is zero. You need an equation involving vertical acceleration.

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...

Thread 'Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes'

TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
