Help Needed for Physics Project for an Undergraduate Student

AI Thread Summary
Undergraduate students often face challenges when starting physics projects, leading to confusion about project expectations. The original poster seeks guidance on project ideas, expressing interest in physics but feeling overwhelmed. Suggestions include exploring topics like electricity or nuclear fusion, which are engaging and relevant. There is a misunderstanding about the educational level, with some participants assuming the poster is in high school rather than college. Clarifying the project requirements and focusing on specific physics concepts can help streamline the project development process.

Hello guys ,
Could anyone of you please tell me what's the great fuss about a physics project. Sorry for being a little informal. My teacher wants me to do a project in physics and I don't know how to start with. I am interested in doing physics but the idea of a project takes me nowhere. So could you please help me giving some ideas. Please remember that I am an undergraduate student.

What do you mean "What's the great fuss about"? And what kinda college has their students do "projects" in sciecne :D
 
I think he is in High School. If I was doing a science project I would do something about electricity or maybe a nice paper about nuclear fussion.
 
O my bad. When you said "teacher" emediately thought it is High School.

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}...
