AI Thread Summary
To design an experiment testing buoyancy for a physics EEI, consider investigating how buoyancy changes with depth and whether it is affected by fluid flow. Archimedes' principle can be a foundational concept, suggesting that buoyant force depends on the displaced fluid's volume. Additionally, exploring Bernoulli's principle could provide insights into lift generation in flowing liquids. A model boat could serve as a practical application for these principles, allowing for hands-on experimentation. Formulating a clear hypothesis based on these principles will guide the investigation effectively.

This if my first post and I think this is the right place to post this, hope so anyway.

Just wondering if you guys had any ideas for a physics experiment relationg to bouyancy. I have to do a EEI (extended experimental investigation) for physics and so far I don't have too many ideas. I can make a model of a boat or something and cut it out using some weird machine but I would have no idea what to test.

Anyway any ideas would be appreciated

How do bouancy depend on depth below the surface?

Does it change if the liquid flows (lift generated?)?
 
Ummm I don't get what you are saying
 
Look up Archimedes principle and Bernoulli's principle...
 
What I am suggesting is to design an experiment to answer the proposed questions. That is the hypothesis you start out with.

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}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
