Welcome, ooh. (Right... that sentence just looks weird. :rolleyes: )
I'm afraid that I have no idea what an 'IB student' is, so I'm just tossing out something that popped into my head while reading your post. I've never actually seen any project done on the physics behind bungee jumping, and there's certainly a lot involved.

As an IB student, finding a topic for your physics research can be challenging but also exciting. To start, it's important to consider your interests and strengths in physics. What topics have you found most interesting in your coursework so far? Are there any real-world applications of physics that you are curious about?

One approach could be to browse through scientific journals or websites to see what current research is being conducted in the field of physics. This could spark ideas for potential topics that align with your interests.

Another option is to think about a problem or phenomenon that you have observed in your daily life and analyze it from a physics perspective. This could lead to a unique and personal research topic.

It's also helpful to consult with your physics teacher or classmates for suggestions and feedback. They may have insights or resources that could guide you in the right direction.

Remember, the key is to choose a topic that you are passionate about and that has a strong foundation in physics. Good luck with your research!
