physics related ornament?

[iceman887]

can someone help me think of a physics related ornament? i have to make it myself so can you also think of a easy one?

[Slim]

Try a tree with a falling apple, that should be simple.

[Randuin]

Um... how about a laser that'll produce a monochromatic light, shooting through a diffraction grading film, and then through a series of mirrors and also a photographic gate, in order to measure the speed of light?

[`Insolence`]

Aka A Big Vagina!

[iceman887]

well, my teacher is going to put it on a tree so making a tree would be weird

[Randuin]

Then just bring in an apple?

[iceman887]

what??? how is that even related? here is an example: my friend said he is making like an atom model or something, like that do you understand

[Grav]

You should do something like an apple hanging out of a tree.

[Randuin]

I still like my suggestion of the speed of light measuring contraption.

[Adrenachrome]

How about a laser pointer and one of those spinning things that spins from light bouncing off of it.

[Lenny]

A candle. Gives off heat in convection currents etc. which is what we've just been learning 'bout in Physics, so 'tis related. No?

[iceman887]

no..... i have to MAKE IT NOT BUY IT!!!!!!!!!! PLZ MORE IDEAS PLZ NOW YOU KNOW and adrena can you explain how that is related to physics or something

[Grav]

If he's hanging them by a tree, use an apple.

[iceman887]

you don't get it do you? i can't just turn in a apple.... i had to have had made it some how or something....

[Slim]

OHH OHH I KNOW! Eat the apple, and when you take a dump...VOILA! You made it!

[BlueCube]

Fire is Physics, right?


Edit: Or how about an apple falling from a tree

[Randuin]

Fire is chemistry.

Make the same thing as your friend except tie an elastic band to the top so it can bounce up and down ON the tree.

[tidus2005]

you could possibly make a small newtons cradle out of marbles and fishing line with a frame made of popsickle sticks then put a string on the top to hang it from.

[Grav]

you don't get it do you? i can't just turn in a apple.... i had to have had made it some how or something....

Tie a wire around an apple so you can hang it from the tree.

[Lenny]

Get lots of little candles, preferably multicoloured, and melt them all down, separably. Get a can of some sort, and punch a hole in the bottom. Thread some string through it and tie it to a stick to rest on top of the can. Pour all the multicoloured waxes in strategic orders into the can, and leave to cool. When cool, cut the string off the stick, and try and get the candle out of the can.

Et Volia. A home-made physics ornament.

[iceman887]

wait can you explain how that is related to physics?

[Lenny]

wait can you explain how that is related to physics?

I am assuming you know all about convection currents, heat conduction and heat radiation etc. yes?

Candles give off heat. If you put a lit candle below a spiral, the convection currents creeated by the heat from the candle cause the spiral to spin and so on.

The three heat movements can probably be explained using a candle.

[iceman887]

crap, no we haven't gotten that far in physics so i don't know those

[Lenny]

crap, no we haven't gotten that far in physics so i don't know those

Look at these sites. If your teacher asks you about it, just brag this, and look like you know something.

Make a fucking atom model like your friend moron.... Its not like your teacher assigned you what to make/knows that you know your friend is making one.

[BlueCube]

I can almost guarantee that the tree will be full of atoms (and nothing else) anyway, especially if his friend told more people about his idea... so that might be the smart thing to do, at this point.

[Lenny]

Oh oh. Make...Astatine...no...xenon. I know, make an atom model of two elements reacting, how bout...ceasium and...something else.

Oh wait, that's chemistry.

Erm...I think I'm gonna stick with the psychadelic (sp???) candle.

[iceman887]

well i don't want to copy him... because he told me what he is doing that and it just isn't right

[Lenny]

Fair enough. Go for the candle.
