Thanks! That is very helpful, will definitely make sure I know the concepts in all the practice questions instead of redoing questions.

A physics problem involving a volcano launching a rock at a 39-degree angle from an elevation of 1200m and a horizontal range of 5500m is discussed, with participants attempting to solve for unknown variables like horizontal and vertical velocities and time. The equations for horizontal and vertical motion are applied, but confusion arises regarding the total vertical displacement and reference frames. Participants clarify that the vertical displacement should be set to zero when the rock lands, leading to the realization that the rock's initial height is 1200m above ground level. The conversation emphasizes the importance of patience in solving physics problems and the need to keep variables in symbolic form until the final evaluation. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges faced during the final exam preparation and the collaborative effort to understand the problem better.
