Research investigation help
« on: July 16, 2021, 02:19:19 am »

My claim is on whether humans will stand on a planet outside our solar system and the main evidence i could find was mathematical evidence but I'm not sure how to analyse trends/patterns/relationships. For research investigations, I would usually use graphs as my evidence so that part would be easy but i don't know what kind of graphs would be able to be used with the claim

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hey Jasmine24,
Could you share some links to the evidence you've found? I'll try to see if I can help in some way

I haven't found specific evidence but so far the brief structure of my report is:

1) how because of special relativity, interstellar travel is possible

I would obviously need to find evidence from a more scientific source but I'm having difficulty understanding exactly what it means, specifically how acceleration relates to it. I also want to use mathematical evidence, ie. formulas for time dilation/length contraction in this section

2) A case study: Project daedalus (I chose this as it is powered by nuclear fusion and since I do alternative sequence, Unit 1 Topic 2: Ionising radiation and nuclear reactions, of the general syllabus is in Unit 4 of the alternative sequence). The issue with this is that I can describe it but I don't know how to analyse it

3) Im not sure if would have a third piece of evidence but my teacher said i could talk about delta v but I'm unsure what it means

thank you :)
