AI Thread Summary
A ball is thrown vertically from an 84-meter high window with an initial velocity of 32.2 m/s, and the goal is to determine the time until it hits the ground. To solve this kinematics problem, relevant equations of motion must be applied, particularly those involving initial velocity, displacement, and acceleration due to gravity. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of showing prior attempts at solving the problem to receive effective assistance. The conversation encourages identifying which kinematic equations are applicable to this scenario. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately calculating the time until the ball reaches the ground.

You have to give us an idea of what you have tried to solve this problem before anyone will help you.

Apparently you understand that this is a kinematics problem, so start from there. What Kinematic equations do you know, and what one do you think will apply to describe this situation?
 

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...
