For my AP Physics final, we have to write a paper on how something, that interests us, works and how physics applies to it. It is only a 5 page paper so I don't have to do very extensive research and experiments.
For my topic I'm bouncing around with these three...
1) Aerodynamics of a bike (Zipp Dimpled Disks, aero helmets, tear drops, "dirty air", etc.)
2) Carbonfiber vs. Al bikes. This is more chemisty but I'm more interested in the vibrations and riding comfort between the two.
3) Oakley optics. How the physics of the lenses and frame structure helps them withstand extreme conditions and hard impacts along with lense clarity.
If anyone has any suggest on these three of where I could obtain information about them or another topic that may be interesting to do.
