How Can We Investigate the Physics of an Ethnographic Object?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a physics experiment to investigate the physical properties of an ethnographic object. Suggestions include conducting an outdoor experiment involving projectile motion, such as throwing or using a catapult. Participants propose setting up a rig to drop the object and measure variables like time and height for comparison with theoretical calculations. The emphasis is on hands-on experimentation to gather data and analyze results. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of practical application in understanding physics concepts related to the object.

The Attempt at a Solution



I thought about an outdoor experiment with throwing and investigating the factors like height, velocity
something with projectile motion, i don't know

I need your help!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

a catapult could be fun to do.
My friends and me did that, and it was pretty good fun.
 


You could set up a rig where it drops the hat in the picture straight down, then you can record all the information and compare your mathematic answers to what actually happened by recording time, height, etc.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

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}...
