A3_1 Distortion: The Maths Behind The Magic
In this paper, we are investigating and creating mathematical models for two different distortion types. We have succeeded in creating these models, as proven from our plots, and have explored the idea of applying these models to a simple speaker circuit
A3_9 All I Want Thaw Christmas Is You
In this paper, we investigate if it would be possible to defrost Mariah Carey from an ice cube of length 2 m in time for the 1st of December if you began defrosting her on the 1st of November. It was found that it would take a total of 12.6 days for Mariah to return to normal body temperature, leaving her plenty of time to prepare for the Christmas season before it arrives
A3_5 1.21 Jigawatts!?!
In this paper we are investigating how much power it would take for the DeLorean from Back tothe Future to reach the 88mph speed required to travel in time. We calculated that when theDeLorean is flying it requires less power than when it is driving on a road to reach the targetvelocity, and in both cases it requires far less power than the 1.21GW that the flux capacitor canprovide
A3_2 If a Tree Falls...
In this paper we are investigating the distances a person can be away from a tree to still be ableto hear it fall. We have calculated that the furthest away a listener can be, with no noise fromthe surrounding area, to still be able to hear a tree fall is approximately 1000km and the furthestdistance they can stand and still hear the noise in a city with traffic is 100m
A3_4 Fly High, Gyroid!
In this paper, we investigated whether a small rocket in the game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be viable, based on whether it could hold the amount of fuel required to reach its maximum altitude. We found that the volume of liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen fuel required is less than the volume of the rocket booster, so the rocket would be viable in this sense
A3_6 Could it really be cheese?
This paper investigated the material properties of the moon in the film ”Wallace and Gromit A Grand Day Out”. We conclude that it is possible for the moon to be comprised of cheese, demonstrated by a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.16 which is comparable to a lightly lubricated metal-rough surface boundary much like skis against a crumbly cheese
A3_3 When Roasted Pigs Fly
This paper investigated the excess energy produced when propane is used to lift a hot air balloon by testing if you could roast a pig while the balloon is flying. We found that the balloon would be able to fly as the propane releases 24.0MW, which is more than enough to roast the pig and fly the balloon
A3_10 Correcting the Aim
This paper takes a deeper look at the situation proposed in “Dont aim at him!” by J.F Barker (el al) and concludes that their assumption of air resistance being negligible for a fired bullet makes their model inapplicable to real-world examples like that of Craig Harrison
