AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a projectile problem to determine the maximum vertical reach at a back wall, incorporating an initial standing reach. Key equations for projectile motion are provided, including the kinematic equations for distance and velocity. The user has launched a ball at 20 m/s at a 60-degree angle but seeks clarification on the specifics of the problem, including the wall's location. Participants encourage the user to share their work and identify where they are experiencing difficulties. The conversation emphasizes the importance of diagrams and qualitative analysis of jumping differences between terrestrial and lunar environments.

Homework Statement


Finding the maximum vertical reach at the back wall.
This should be viewed as a peak height projectile problem (added to an
initial standing reach). Are diagrams
included to show the meaning of each variable? Are reasonable and unique
values used? Is the maximum vertical reach found? Is there a qualitative
analysis about the many dramatic differences between Terrestrial and Lunar jumping?

Homework Equations


d= vit+1/2at^2
vf^2=vi^2+2ad

The Attempt at a Solution


ball launched at 20 m/s. 60 degree angle.

Hi xL0VEN0TE! Welcome to PF! :wink:

What exactly is your question (and where is the wall)? :confused:

Anyway, show us what you've done, and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help. :smile:
 
Thanks. Sorry, I'm still kind of new to this website.
I just need to create a projectile problem with that info given.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

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...
