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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
