Need ideas for my A2 physics research project

Just have to choose a topic, get shit loads of sources of information relating to the topic, then right my own research report.

Oh only got 3 days max to do it in too :biggrin:

Any ideas?

Does it have to be from a specific module/unit? ie, does it have to be electricity/mechanics/waves?! If you are allowed to chose anything, then what topics are you personally interested in?!

Effects of impacts of celestial bodies of various sizes (and velocities) in terms of energy released etc. A much more interesting problem (although probably too hard for you to get near an 'answer') is 'was the Chixulub impact at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary big enough to wipe out the dinosaurs?'.
