AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on creating an Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) for a Year 11 Physics project focused on projectile motion, specifically using a coil gun. The student seeks guidance on structuring the EEI, including whether to include a risk assessment and how to present results. Suggestions for organizing the report include sections such as Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion. There is a note that the term EEI may not be universally recognized, highlighting differences in educational systems. Overall, the student is looking for clarity on the format and content of their EEI assignment.

Hi,
I'm in Year 11 Physics, and we were assigned a task. We were to do an EEI on projectile motion, and I chose to make and shoot a coil gun. I have made it, but now I am stuck on how to set up the EEI assignment.
Where should I put the results, and how should I put them? ect
I've decided on first asking the question - 'what is a coilgun'? as some people don't know about them.
1) Should I include the Risk Assessment I had in my EEI proposal?
2) How should I lay out the results?
3) What else should there me in it?

Thanks!
I hope I've put this in the right place!

First, define EEI please. I have no idea what this term is.
 
An EEI is an Extended Experimental Investigation. All students who have taken Physics have done (or should have done) at least one EEI. It's just an investigation into whatever the teacher tells you to do - and this time, it's projectile motion.
 
Hm, I am going into my 3rd year of my bachelors degree in physics and I've never heard of an EEI. Just because your school has something doesn't mean everyone everywhere does it as well, don't assume things, it makes you sound arrogant and cocky.

Anyway, in general a report of this style might be organized as:
Abstract
Introduction
Method
Results
Discussion

I'll leave the rest to you
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
