Suggestions for an AP Physics class presentation include explaining the physics of rainbows and exploring the concept of levers. The discussion highlights the simplicity and broad applications of levers, making it an accessible topic. Additionally, the physics behind rainbows can be intriguing, with variations like the rainbow ring adding depth to the presentation. Both topics are suggested as engaging and suitable for a 15-minute format. Ultimately, these ideas provide a foundation for an informative and interesting presentation.

Hey guys, I need to make a powerpoint/write a report on any topic related to physics, but I'm having a hard time choosing. This is for my AP Physics class, and I was wondering if you guys could help me choose a topic! What would you be interested to learn/hear about for 15 minutes if you were in my class? lol. It's just a simple 15 minute powerpoint presentation on one topic. Anything come to mind that would be interesting/simple/not too complicated?

Thanks! :)

Explain a rainbow.
 
that's actually a good idea..haha! :D
 
How about a short course in levers? There are all kinds of resources available. The physics is rather simple, and there are SO many applications...

Yes it is! Especially since there are several kinds of rainbows. You could cover the physics behind a basic rainbow, and show some of the neat variations (like the rainbow ring you see around the shadow cast by your airplane in the clouds below you...
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
