Can Teenagers Pick Up Game Diamonds Faster Than Adults?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a science fair project involving a game where players collect diamonds, with the hypothesis that teenagers will complete the task faster than adults. The project creator seeks to frame this theory in a scientific context and is looking for relevant articles to support their claim. Suggestions are requested on how to develop the topic further and identify appropriate keywords for research. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the reasoning behind the hypothesis to guide the search for supporting literature. Ultimately, the project aims to explore the differences in performance between teens and adults in a gaming scenario.

My science fair project is basically making a game. In this game you pick up diamonds, and the objective is to pick all 10 of them up in the least amount of time.

My theory is that teens will have lesser time than adults, but i don't know how to put this in a 'physics/science' way.

I also have to find articles proving this, but i don't know what keyword to search for!

If anyone can be so kind as to suggest how i can turn this idea into a good topic, i will appreciate it!

thanks in advance.

First ask yourself why you believe this would actually happen.

Why would the teen time be less than the adult time?

The answer to this question should also give you some ideas for a keyword search.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
