Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around designing an experiment related to buoyancy for an extended experimental investigation (EEI) in physics. Participants are exploring various aspects of buoyancy and its dependence on different factors.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are considering potential experiments, such as modeling a boat, and questioning how buoyancy might change with depth or in flowing liquids. There is also a suggestion to explore established principles like Archimedes' and Bernoulli's.

Discussion Status

The discussion is in the early stages, with participants sharing initial ideas and questions. Some guidance has been offered regarding the formulation of hypotheses and potential resources for experiment design.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of the need for clarity on how buoyancy is affected by various conditions, such as depth and fluid dynamics, which may require further exploration and definition.

This if my first post and I think this is the right place to post this, hope so anyway.

Just wondering if you guys had any ideas for a physics experiment relationg to bouyancy. I have to do a EEI (extended experimental investigation) for physics and so far I don't have too many ideas. I can make a model of a boat or something and cut it out using some weird machine but I would have no idea what to test.

Anyway any ideas would be appreciated

How do bouancy depend on depth below the surface?

Does it change if the liquid flows (lift generated?)?
 
Ummm I don't get what you are saying
 
Look up Archimedes principle and Bernoulli's principle...
 
What I am suggesting is to design an experiment to answer the proposed questions. That is the hypothesis you start out with.
