AI Thread Summary
A particle accelerates at 6.09 m/s² for 0.350 seconds, resulting in a final velocity of 9.41 m/s. To find the initial velocity, the relevant motion equations must be applied. The discussion clarifies that the initial velocity is not zero, as the particle is in motion due to the applied acceleration. Misunderstandings about the equations and concepts of motion are addressed, emphasizing the importance of external forces in determining motion. The thread ultimately seeks to clarify the calculation of initial velocity based on the given parameters.

A particle has an acceleration of 6.09m/s for 0.350s . At the end of this time the particle's velocity is 9.41

How do I find the inital velocity

Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant velocity) unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force

So would the answer be zero?

Sorry I asked for wrong thing, I was referring to motion equations. I have corrected my post.

So would the answer be zero?
But, you are wrong.

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...
