AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving for the velocity vector, $\vec{\upsilon}$, using provided equations and a diagram. The initial attempt involved calculating $\vec{\upsilon}$ with the formula $\vec{\upsilon} = \vec{\Delta} V / (B d)$ and resulted in an incorrect value for B. A user noted that their link to the diagram was not functioning, which hindered responses. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by a friend, and the user expressed gratitude for the assistance. The thread highlights the importance of clear communication and access to resources in problem-solving.

Homework Equations




\vec{\upsilon}= \vec{\Delta} V / ( B d)

\vec{\upsilon}= u E

The Attempt at a Solution



from the diagram , we have \vec{\upsilon} = 1.25*10^-5 V/(B)(0.001m)

using the second formula ( 1.25*10^-5 )V/(B)(0.001m) = 3.5*10^-5 (240V)(0.12m)


in which I got B = 1.7857*10^-7, which is wrong...
why?

Thank you very much for info, I was wondering why no1 bother to reply...
The link somehow manage to show a picture on my computer.

Well, the question have been solved by my friend. It is no longer a problem.
Thank you again for telling me though

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...
