Enterbot3 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Hi, My HL maths IA is basically on spinning tops. It concerns how the change in its radius with respect to height of the z axis changes. In that, I show how one spinning top has a higher moment of inertia than the other? Is this a good math IA? Does it have the right amount of maths? I am aiming for a grade 6/7 and need help. Also How would I go about keeping the volume constant for the two spinning tops? Would I find the volumes of each spinning top separately and then find a scale factor? How would that work? Sorry for so many questions. But I need help. Also any other proposals around the topic of moment of inertia would be helpful. I do not mind changing topics but would rather keep it similar to inertia.

kw0573 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 It's a good start but you have to flesh out the details further to narrow the scope of your investigation. As a next start you should find the shape of spinning tops in terms of a particular equation that you can optimize. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
