AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving an acceleration-time graph from a velocity-time graph, confirming that a negative slope in the velocity graph indicates a straight line for acceleration. Participants agree that the reasoning behind the negative acceleration is correct, reinforcing the relationship between velocity and acceleration. The conversation highlights confidence in understanding basic calculus principles related to motion. Overall, the consensus is that the interpretation of the graphs is accurate and well-supported. The collaborative nature of the discussion emphasizes the importance of peer feedback in solving physics problems.

I believe that that is correct because since the velocity has the same negative slope, the acceleration should be a straight line. And in your attempt, the acceleration is negative and just a line, that answer is correct I believe.
 
yup .. has to be correct... MysticDude's reasoning looks right too.

Alright, I guess I know my calculus basics eh? Oh and thanks for the friend request.
 
Yep, it's correct. Thank you for your help guys.
 

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...

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}...
