Click For Summary
Creating a physics demonstration using household items can effectively showcase concepts like refraction. Participants suggest brainstorming specific ideas to refine into a presentable format. The goal of the assignment is to encourage critical thinking about how physics principles manifest in daily life. Engaging with the topic helps deepen understanding rather than just completing a task. This approach ensures a more meaningful learning experience.

So, I need to create a physics demonstration that highlights a concept of introductory physics out of household items. Does anybody know of any good ones I could use?

Do something using refraction. Its a very easy topic and there are lots of formulas you can throw around to 'Wooo' people. :p
 
I think this qualifies for the same rules as a homework problem. Why don't you suggest an idea for what you want to do and then we can help you refine it to something presentable.

I'm sure the real point of the assignment was to make you think about how the laws of physics are reflected in everyday phenomena. If you don't do the thinking, then you haven't really done the assignment.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
