Interesting End of Semester Project ideas wanted

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding scientific arguments related to introductory physics concepts for a semester project. Participants seek ideas for either proving or debunking these arguments, emphasizing relevance to topics covered in class, such as Newton's laws, motion, energy, buoyancy, basic thermodynamics, and electrical/magnetism theory. Clarification is provided that this is an introductory university physics class. Suggestions for interesting debunking topics are encouraged, particularly those that align with the curriculum. Engaging with these foundational concepts can lead to insightful research projects.

We are to find a scientific argument and either prove it or debunk it through research. This was an introductory Physics class and he would prefer to stay somewhat within the scope of the class.

Does anybody have interesting debunk-ings?

What's the scope of the class? What topics have you learnt? Is this an introductory university physics class?
 
yeah I shouldve laid that out a little better. We covered Newtons law's, motion in general, energy, simple pressure/bouyancy, VERY basic Thermo, and basic elctrical/magnetism theory
 
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...
