AI Thread Summary

Integrating robotics into a physics Extended Essay for the IB diploma can involve exploring topics such as the physics of robotic motion, control systems, or the impact of robotics on society. Potential ideas include investigating the mechanics of robotic arms, analyzing the efficiency of robotic sensors, or studying the physics principles behind autonomous vehicles. The Extended Essay is a significant research project that allows students to engage deeply with a topic of interest, contributing to their overall diploma requirements. Students are encouraged to focus on a specific aspect of robotics that aligns with physics principles to create a compelling essay. Engaging with these topics can enhance understanding of both physics and robotics in a practical context.

Hi guys!
I'm new here.
I'm here to ask you guys for your opinions.
I'm planning to do my Extended essay in physics.
I want to relate my E.E with robotics.
Can you guys please give me some ideas??

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
