Essay Extended essay Physics Physics extended essay

AI Thread Summary

Integrating robotics into a physics Extended Essay for the IB diploma can involve exploring topics such as the physics of robotic motion, control systems, or the impact of robotics on society. Potential ideas include investigating the mechanics of robotic arms, analyzing the efficiency of robotic sensors, or studying the physics principles behind autonomous vehicles. The Extended Essay is a significant research project that allows students to engage deeply with a topic of interest, contributing to their overall diploma requirements. Students are encouraged to focus on a specific aspect of robotics that aligns with physics principles to create a compelling essay. Engaging with these topics can enhance understanding of both physics and robotics in a practical context.

Hi guys!
I'm new here.
I'm here to ask you guys for your opinions.
I'm planning to do my Extended essay in physics.
I want to relate my E.E with robotics.
Can you guys please give me some ideas??

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

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...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
