Well done to Heidi, Eloise, Edie and Alisa for their creative submission that demonstrated how physics can help explain the search for missing flight MH370. Take a look at their cover letter below:
One of the great mysteries, missing Malaysian flight 370.This has fascinated us, as how can a plane just disappear? The flight disappeared on the 8th of March 2014 and still hasn’t been fully found. So, we used Sonar and explained the physics such as the involvement of ultrasound and transducers to help us find the missing plane underwater. Sonar also helps us find underwater hazards to submarines and also help us find shipwrecks! The pictures and effects in our video help showcase the exciting science behind sonar while the style brings back how important and perplexing this case is. We wanted to teach people about sonar and how it’s an incredibly useful in solving mysteries and that physics can give you a helping hand.
