B Physics Extended Essay Research Question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on selecting a research question for a high school Extended Essay in physics, specifically within classical mechanics. A suggestion is made to explore the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations of mechanics, which are fundamental concepts in physics. Participants emphasize the importance of the student independently choosing a topic rather than relying on others to do the work. The Extended Essay requires a 4000-word in-depth analysis, highlighting the need for a well-thought-out research question. Engaging with these concepts can provide a solid foundation for the essay.

So we need to decide our research question for the Extended Essay. The extended essay is basically a 4000-word in-depth research on atopic. I chose physics as my subject and I want to something in classical mechanics. can someone please suggest a topic ASAP.
P.s. even though its a high school level research paper its suppose to be quite in depth.

Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulation of mechanics. This should be quite accessible for a high school student and is of the utmost importance in all of physics.

Part of the assignment is picking the topic. We shouldn't do your work for you.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
