AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between amplitude and period in the context of pendulum motion. The formula for the period, T = 2π√(L/g), indicates that the period depends only on the length of the pendulum (L) and the acceleration due to gravity (g), not on amplitude. This leads to the conclusion that doubling the amplitude does not affect the period. Participants highlight that since amplitude is absent from the equation, it does not influence the period of oscillation. Thus, the period remains constant regardless of changes in amplitude.

Why is the answer to this period?

I know

T = 2π√(L/g)

But I don't know how period doesn't change if you double amplitude, when amplitude isn't even in the equation (?)

Perhaps the fact that amplitude is not in this formula for period means that the period does not depend upon the amplitude.
 

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}...
