Rotation kinetic energy/linear velocity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a homework problem related to rotation kinetic energy and linear velocity, specifically involving a flywheel. The participant expresses uncertainty about their solution and mentions the need for attachments to clarify their work. They assume the flywheel is a uniform disk, which is a common interpretation in physics problems unless specified otherwise. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly identifying the properties of the flywheel for accurate calculations. Overall, the focus is on confirming assumptions and ensuring the solution aligns with the problem's requirements.

Looks OK to me.
 
Even though I assume the flywheel is a uniform disk?

Lacking evidence to the contrary, I would assume that by "disklike flywheel" they mean a uniform disk.
 
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}...
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...
