Homework Help Overview

The original poster is seeking viable and researchable topics for a physics presentation, emphasizing the need for specificity in topic selection. They have listed seven potential topics related to various physical phenomena but aim to expand their list to at least 15.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about the educational level of the physics class to better tailor topic suggestions. The original poster clarifies they are in first-year high school physics, outlining the topics covered in their course.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered suggestions for topics, including a recommendation for an energy source like solar power, which is noted for its simplicity and potential for detailed discussion. The conversation is ongoing, with the original poster seeking additional ideas.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes constraints related to the educational level of the physics class and the requirement for specificity in topic selection as advised by the teacher.

Homework Statement


For my physics presentation, I need to choose viable and researchable topics. The teacher mentioned that specificity is key; for example, instead of doing the broad topic of sport of football, we should instead do the topic of a how the ball travels. So far, I've acquired 7 topics, but I want at least 15 topics to be safe. Any help?


Homework Equations


None for now.


The Attempt at a Solution


Here are my seven topics.
- How a snowboard is able to travel down a hill.
- Physics of a billiard ball and how it hits/travels.
- Physics of a NASCAR tire/car body
- Physics of pole vaulting.
- Physics of shot putting.
- Physics of how a football travels.
- Physics of a water wheel – how it spins and how it generates energy

What kind of physics class is this? High School? Freshmen College?
 
Yes, it would help to know what level of physics you are working at.
 
I'm in first year high school physics. So far, we've covered one-dimensional motion, 2D motion, vectors, forces, laws of motion, work/energy, momentum/collisions, rotational motion, torque, fluid mechanics (buoyant force, floating), heat, pressure, and a little bit of thermodynamics

Thanks. :)

If you want something REALLY easy, I would do an energy source such as solar power. Here the main points are quite simple, but there is a lot of room to give more detailed explanation. It is also quite nice in the way that you can offer both advantages and dissadvanatges and make your own suggestions.
 
Thank you, Mayday. :)

Any other ideas?
