cassylays7 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Ok so after continuous research and pondering for over the past month, I think i have a topic! But I also want to know if this topic makes sense and weather it would qualify for a "hard enough" topic.I want to experiment and see if there is a fixed ratio that compares the centripetal force of a curved road (to all those who have taken physics might know this), to the length of the curve of the road.I want to do this and see if i can figure out a "Golden ratio" of a sort for that.So any comments? think it will work? I have to had this topic in in 2 weeks (not the full ia)....soooo ya...Also any other IA topics ideas would be great...im kinda still looking but have searched up over 50 topics.... Thank you !

Thank you !Hello Cassy! I take physics as well, so yeah that could work out. Be careful to avoid straying into the "physics" path, and getting lost in that stuff, since you are doing a mathematical IA. I think that this could get you an A, as long as you are investigating this in a mathematical manner. I don't really know about the golden ratio part though. Try research online to see whether this is feasible, because if it is not, then you should alter your research question so that you have more maths to play around with. Perhaps you could find data online which shows how centripetal force is affected by the radius(or distance) between the object and the center of the curve, and investigate this through a simpler means, such as swinging a cork tied to a string over your head while collecting data using LabQuest or some other physics device(oops, maybe I strayed too much into physics, sorry).But hopefully you get the idea. cheers,-theswizzlerbruh 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassylays7 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 ^^Thx! I will try to do that and see if there is a relationship. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
