    Mean Resistance
AI Thread Summary
Negligible resistance indicates that a battery functions as an ideal DC voltage source, maintaining a constant voltage at its terminals regardless of the current drawn. The initial answer of 6J is incorrect. The correct answer is 4J, as confirmed in the discussion. This highlights the importance of understanding the implications of negligible resistance in electrical circuits. The conversation emphasizes clarity in interpreting voltage and power calculations.

why is answer for (6a)6J?
Negligible resistance means that the battery is a perfect source of DC voltage. The voltage at it's terminals is constant regardless of the current drawn.

The answer is not 6J.

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...
