AI Thread Summary
Vectors A, B, and C can relate through the equation A - B = C, which is illustrated using the Pythagorean triplet 3, 4, 5. The discussion explores whether C can equal A + B, suggesting that this is feasible when considering vectors in opposite directions. The confusion arises from interpreting vector subtraction strictly in terms of triangles. Ultimately, the relationship between the vectors depends on their magnitudes and directions. Understanding these vector relationships is crucial for applying concepts of vector addition and subtraction effectively.

Suppose that vectors A, B and C are related by A-B=C.

a) Is it possible that A-B=C? If so, draw the sort of situation when this is so. (A is the magnitude of A, B of B and C of C.)

b) Is it possible that C=A+B? If so, then draw the sort of situation when this is so.

-------

a) I used the Pythagorean triplet 3,4,5 for this situation.
b) I'm not sure but I think the question basically asks whether C can equal A+B and at the same time can C equal the square root of the sum of the squares of A and B. I'm having trouble getting my head around this.

OK never mind, false alarm. For some reason I was thinking strictly in the form of triangles for my vector subtraction. I believe situation b) is possible if you have any two vectors of opposite direction.

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}...

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...
