i'm starting [again] a physics topic for extended essay for IB...my last few topics haven't worked due to technical difficulties [ie: can't complete experiments, lack of avaliable resources, etc] so my new idea for a topic is firearms. the lab can easily be done by going to a shooting range sometime this week.
i'm looking to have at least three comprehensive subthesis', each focusing on a field of physics that is directly relevant. my ideas for two so far are:
momentum laws - primary/secondary recoil, terminal ballistics etc, all with a few relevant equations.
gas laws - actual firing of gun, how it cycles, noise generated and how it could be reduced, might be able to get some relevant figures [ratio of gunpowder grain to gaseous products]
i don't know what to do the last one on..kinematics and sound could be plasuable if i need, but are both sortof weak. so any sortof help would be great. thanks :)
