Chewing gum experiment suggestions

AI Thread Summary
Suggestions for physics experiments using chewing gum include testing its tensile strength and how it varies with temperature. Participants are encouraged to provide specific details about the experiment's requirements and the type of data needed. The discussion emphasizes the importance of obtaining numeric data for analysis. Experiment ideas should be straightforward to execute while yielding measurable results. Engaging in this topic can lead to a better understanding of material properties through practical experimentation.

Hello. Sorry if I am writing in the wrong part of the forum, but this seemed like the right place to ask. I would be very happy if someone could suggest a few not to difficult physics experiments with chewing gum, that would allow to obtain some data in numeric form. Thank you in advance.

It might help if you specified the nature of your problem... What exactly are you supposed to do, and what kind of data are you supposed to find?
 
Tensile strength (versus temperature too, maybe)
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
