Ib diploma Definition and 12 Threads

Hey, I'm a first year IB student (G11) starting my extended essay. It's a 4000 word essay where you explore something outside the IB syllabus, and basically write a research project on it. I'm struggling thinking of a topic for my research question. Right now I've got the research question...

[Mentor Note -- thread moved to the schoolwork forums] Hi. So I'm a Physics HL student in IB and I'm designing a circuit for my Physics IA. (think of it as a lab/project if you're not familiar with IB) I'm required to have an independent variable of 7 dif. values and a dependant variable. For...

Homework Statement Hi! A battery of emf 12 V and negligible internal resistance is connected to a resistor of constant resistance 6 Ω, an ideal ammeter and an ideal voltmeter. The voltmeter and ammeter are in series with the cell and the resistor. What is the reading on each? Homework...

Let's say that 2 objects inelastically collided in outer space. One has a Mass of 2kg, and velocity 5m/s. The other has a Mass of 4kg, and velocity is 0m/s. ( at rest) 1) Energy cannot be created or destroyed. (Energy is conserved) 2) Momentum is conserved. Total Momentum before was (2x5) +...

Well, I'm just finishing my first year with the IB program and we're starting our extended essay (a 4000 words investigation). I am posting here because i need help with the topic (I've chosen to do a Physics EE). So far I've came up with windmills and to determine factors that affect its...

Hey there my name, well, it wasn't found. I'm an IB student and I'm just starting my Physics Extended Essay.

Hi:), I'm doing the IB and I'm doing my extended essay(EE) in physics. I've thought of so many questions and I even started experimenting on a few but they haven't really worked out. I was doing one recently(the effect of the length of a pendulum on its time period) but apparently, I won't be...

I have been trying to come up with a good question for my Ib extended essay which is a 4000 words essay about any physics topic of my choice. However, with this topic I need to come up with an experiment to further investigate this topic and write up an analysis and conclusion. I am really...

Hello guys! I'm currently in the IB Diploma Programme. I'm trying to narrow down my topic in Aerodynamics of an F1 car (huge fan here!). Any ideas? I was thinking more on the lines of wing deflection..

Hello PF. I am a Greek student ,currently in the 9th grade. I love mathematics and physics and I want to study Computer engineering. I am planing to study abroad preferably in the US or UK. Recently, I discovered an option to take some IB diploma courses for the 11th and 12th grades in...

Im currently just over half way through my IB diploma course at school with a predicted grade of 39-43 out of 45. This translates to a UAI (university admission index) (its a New South Wales thing in Australia - ask me if you need help here) of 99.45. I would really like to study engineering in...

I'm planning to do an extended Essay for the IB Diploma in Physics. I want to do something on Fluid Dynamics. I was thinking of investigating terminal velocity and effects on drag and upthrust to terminal velocity. That investigation will of course involve Stoke's Law. BUt I think that might be...
