AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on planning a lab experiment related to centrifugal force and circular motion, emphasizing the need to identify independent and dependent variables, as well as control variables. Participants are encouraged to brainstorm creative ideas for the lab's purpose and execution. One humorous suggestion involves using a centrifuge to analyze a blood sample. The overall goal is to design an impressive experiment that effectively demonstrates principles of circular motion. Engaging and innovative lab ideas are sought to impress the teacher.

Hey everyone,

My physics teacher asked us to, over the long weekend, develop the planning stages for a lab with something to do with centrifical force/circular motion (non-accelerating).

Those were his instructions, we have to come up with a situation and plan a lab that will allow us to discover something about circular motion, so, what variables will be maintained as contorls, which will be independant, dependant, what the purpose of our individual lab will be, how it will be carried out etc...

Any ideas? I want to blow him away with an amazing lab!

Thanks!

Make him give you a blood sample and centerfuge it?:biggrin:
 

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}...
