Due:
During the next few days, you will be completing a series of independent research projects / assignments on waves and sound. All three sub-parts will be worth a project grade.
All three subparts will be due by Friday, May 03 at 8:00 AM. You will NOT be able to turn this assignment in late. You will be given one study hall day to work on these three subparts. You will be given some class time to work on each subpart the day they are assigned. The schedule in which each subpart will be released is below.
Please note: if you want a 100, you should meet the amount of recommended pages and not exceed the maximum, have a plethora of physics terminology, in addition to answering the question competently. Citations are also necessary (just list the links used; APA is not necessary; try to avoid sources like wikipedia, and look for more academic / scholarly sources). Double space, 12pt font, Time New Roman. Used attached document.
Monday, April 29th - Resonance Research
Tuesday, April 30th - Wave applications / career research
Wednesday, May 1st - Animal / Sound Research
Thursday, May 2nd - Study Hall
Resonance Research
Q1. (~0.75 - 1.5 page)
a.) There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves. Summarize both body and surface waves, then note their differences.
b.) There are two types of body waves: primary and secondary waves. Summarize both primary and secondary waves, then note their differences.
Q2. (~0.5 - 1.5 page)
Research the Angers Suspension Bridge in France.
a) How long was the bridge?
b) When was the bridge built?
c) When and how did the bridge collapse? Include relevant Physics terminology.
d) How many casualties were attributed to the Angers Bridge collapse?
Q3. (~ 0.75 - 1 page)
Watch a video about the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (1940), OR the resonance on the London Thames Millennium Bridge (2000). Consider how their designs could have been improved. Write about the videos watched, the bridge chosen, physics terminology (resonance) and how the designs could have been improved. Please note: the links to the videos watched MUST be included in the sources. If you pick a video under 5 minutes in length, a second video must be chosen. Be sure to research videos that speak about the physics related to the bridge chosen.
