Projectile motion only provided acceleration diatance

AI Thread Summary
To determine the initial vertically upward speed and horizontal speed of a projectile, it's essential to differentiate between vertical and horizontal displacements. The vertical displacement only accounts for the distance from launch to maximum height, while the horizontal displacement covers the entire trajectory. It is crucial to recognize that only horizontal acceleration is zero, necessitating the use of equations that incorporate vertical acceleration. The discussion highlights a common misunderstanding in applying these principles to solve projectile motion problems. Accurate calculations require careful attention to these distinctions.

1. You have mixed up vertical and horizontal displacements.
2. The given vertical displacement is from launch to max height, but the given horizontal displacement is for the whole trajectory.
3. Only the horizontal acceleration is zero. You need an equation involving vertical acceleration.
 

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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
