Need a Topic For Experimental Investigation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a suitable experimental investigation topic for a Year 12 Physics assessment focused on the physics of sport. The user seeks a sport that integrates multiple physics concepts such as Newton's Laws, collisions, energy transfer, and motion. Suggestions include snooker, cycling, and archery, each highlighting relevant physics principles. The user clarifies they are following the Queensland Studies Authority curriculum in Australia. The urgency for topic ideas is emphasized, as another user from the Philippines also requests assistance for a similar project.

Hey everyone,
New to the forum - I apologize if you already get heaps of posts like these...
Im in Year 12 Physics, and out first assessment piece is related to the physics of sport.
It's a typical physics project -> hypothesis, testing, report...etc

We're looking at anything relating to Sport; so that's things like Newtons Laws, Collisions, Energy Transfer, Momentum-Impulse relationship, parabolic + linear + rotational motion.

I'm aiming for an excellent grade, so I'm looking for a sport that either incorporates a number of concepts or the concept is relatively challenging.

Any thoughts/ideas??

Thanks

Is this a UK, A Level project? (Couldn't tell from profile)
I can think of a number of possible starting points:
Snooker: collisions, momentum, energy transfer
Cycling: Newtons Laws of motion, gears, mechanical advantage, acceleration
Archery: trajectories, energy in bow under tension

Nah, I live in Australia. It's just the Year 12 QSA (Quensland Studies Authority) Physics Curriculum
 
Hello .. I am 17 m in phillipines .. I am 4th year HS .. pls give me a topic 4 investigatory project in physics?

pls .. i need the topic tommorow .. tnx so much!
 
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...
