P3307: Fun Physics Brain Teasers in Splash! Fall 2013 (Nov. 02 - 03, 2013)
You ever wonder why scientists do physics for fun? You can find out in this class! We'll be going over some classic physics brainteasers that have been around for ages and then move on to problems which require a little bit more creativity. So come join me in learning about the joys of solving physics problems that don't require so much of the math, but more of your intuition. So, just bring your heads and get ready for an awesome time! Here's are two example problems that we'll be going over in class, just to give you an idea on what to expect from this class: (1) A dinghy, with a passenger and an anchor, floats in a small pool. The passenger throws the anchor into the water. Will the water level in the pool increase, decrease, or stay the same? (2) Are there more grains of salt in a salt mound than there are atoms in a single grain of salt? Sign up to find out!
