Hi,
I'm taking a course (lab) in which I'm required to think of an experiment, design and build it, forecast its outcome, conduct it, and analyze the results. Sadly I'm having a hard time thinking of any worthy ideas for such a project...
The experiment should be on the subject of classical mechanics, although if I really want to (i.e I have a good enough idea) I can deal with subjects in other areas as well. I'm free to use anything at our lab, so equipment shouldn't be a problem (to a certain limit of course). The subject of the experiment should be substantial and not too simple (again, to a limit). I don't mind too much if the theory behind the experiment is a bit complicated - whether from the physical point of view or the mathematical - as I'm willing (and looking forward to) self-studying the required tools if needed.
I've Googled for the past week or so but my search wasn't very focused and I couldn't find anything I liked. So - anyone has any ideas for me? Just throw at me whatever you can think of, I always belived in brainstorming.
Thanks,
Chen
(Note that this is NOT a "science fair project", not even close. So please don't refer me to threads dealing with that subject. )
