Subject: Re: [Phys-l] outdoor experiments
Observe cars starting from a stop light, or just passing by, to plot
d=t
graphs......causes a lot of paranoia. ;-)
Use a car and force scales to do F = ma
Use a bicycle to examine stopping distance as a function of tire
pressure.
Bicycle riding in a circle and measure angle of lean vs speed and
radius.
Speed of sound with echos from a wall of a loud noise or time to hear
distant but visible clankangle
Sound wave interference from two monotonic sources.
Polarization of sky light....fun to observe, not so sure of
experimentation
Absorption of solar energy by water ...time, color of receptacle,
ofbe
sun....
There are a few.....nothing electrical....

hello,you
i am a physics and math high school teacher;
thanks for this excellent mail list !
i'd like to ask you information about possible outdoor experiments
do or have done in the past;
by outdoor experiments i mean a wide range of experimentations that
can be carried outside and not simply inside a lab; i think it may

of course, it may be only a preliminary phase, since many

if it is not really clear what i mean, just tell me and i'll reply
thank you in advance
