Lab Report Need an idea for Pysics IA

[kingfelix6]

Hi all

What are some interesting topics that are good for Physics IA??

Please not something to thermal physics, as I have done alot of experiment on that. But something related to force, motion, etc.

Thanks for all the help!!!

Well you could some of the following experiments:

- Finding the acceleration due to gravity by using a pendulum bob.

- Finding the acceleration due to gravity using a falling mass.

- Investigating craters formed in sand; you could for example investigate how the diameter of the crater formed varies as the mass is dropped from greater heights.

- Investigate Hooke's law using different springs or you could even arrange two identical springs in a series and parallel arrangement and see how the extension of the springs varies as the force acting on them is varied.

- You could investigate a cantilever. For example investigating how the deflection of the cantilever varies as the forces acting on it are varied.

- You could investigate a bouncing ball; for example how the first rebounce height varies as the height from which the ball you use is varied.

I hope these ideas will help. You can search the internet, perhaps, to get some better idea on how you can go about them.

I personally prefer the experiments with circuits ie- finding the force on a current carring wire

-How does currents change in a circuit with thermistor as tempreture changes

There are lots of experiments that you could do and they are all relatively straight forward
