    Moments Turning
AI Thread Summary
Turning moments can be effectively illustrated through everyday examples such as bicycle and car wheels, which demonstrate the concept of rotational force. Other potential ideas for the poster include using examples from sports, like a basketball spinning on a finger, or natural phenomena, such as the rotation of the Earth. Visual representations can enhance understanding, so incorporating diagrams or images alongside these examples is beneficial. Engaging with the audience through relatable scenarios will make the concept more accessible. Overall, the focus should be on clear, practical applications of turning moments in daily life.

Create a poster or posters showing how turning moments may be applied in everyday life. It may be advantageous to give worked examples in each case

Can anyone give me ideas/hints on how I should go about this?

Oddly I've went there before... but thanks though.

What I'm asking for is ideas on how I should do this poster and some examples of turning moments...
 
bicycle/car wheels
 
are there any other examples or ideas for my poster?
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
