During an earthquake, skyscrapers will shake and maybe even wobble. Learn the key to designing a skyscraper that stays safe in an earthquake. 

Electric cars are more energy efficient than gas-powered cars. Or are they? Do your own calculation and determine the real efficiency of an electric car! 

Ion engines are not presently used for rockets because of the low thrust they produce. However, they can go for a long time! Learn if an ion thrust powered space ship is the right thing for traveling to Mars! 

Regular polygons have certain relationships between the number edges, verticies and faces. Learn the optimal shapes to use. 

Learn the physics of Formula 1 racing cars, as they round corners in good weather and bad. Did you know that they can drive upside down on the roof of a tunnel? 

Ever wondered how it is that some ships seem to be too tall to be stable, yet they don't tip over? Learn why ocean liners and cargo ships are very stable on the high seas!

Did you know that the earth's magnetic field protects it from charged particles from the sun? Learn how much our magnetic field would have to decrease before we are in trouble! 

Rockets accelerate only because they get lighter as they burn fuel. Investigate the dynamics of Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy Rocket!

A satellite in a circular orbit has a specific amount of energy which depends on its altitude. Learn how much energy is needed to change the orbit of a satellite - or send it into space forever! 

If we just had a material that was strong enough and light enough, we could hang a tether from the surface of the earth all the way past geostationary orbit and attach an elevator car to it!
