I will be do a project soon on a topic that I pick. I am interested in solar energy but one of the requirements for the project is to show calculations related to your topic. Are any calculations that wouldn't be to hard that might be relevant or should I find another topic?
The way I'm thinking of it in my head is similar to the difference of throwing a box with an elastic rope attached off of a truck that is moving 60mph, and dragging a a box from behind the truck starting slow and accelerating. There is obviously going to be more of a stretch in the rope in the...
We did a lab in physics class to determine the coefficient of static and sliding friction. basically we used a spring scale to determine how many Newtons of force was required to just get a block moving and then to keep it moving. We needed to do several trial runs with a slow, fast, and faster...
