Physics Olympiad - practice problems
Physics Olympiad refers to competitive physics examinations testing deep conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and mathematical application to complex physical scenarios. Problems require advanced knowledge of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and modern physics. Students must apply calculus, differential equations, and sophisticated mathematical techniques to novel situations. These competitions identify and nurture talented students interested in physics, mathematics, and engineering careers. Success requires both theoretical knowledge and experimental laboratory skills.Directions: Solve each problem carefully. Show all your work.

- The sequence
Find the nth term of the progression 2,6,12,20... - Balance Scales Immersed Bodies
At the end of one arm of the equilibrium scales, which are in equilibrium, a lead body with a volume V1 is suspended in the air. At the end of the other arm is an aluminum body with a volume of V2. The balance arms have sizes l1 and l2, lead density h1 = - Ghost clock
At 6:15, a ghost conjured a clock that showed the correct time. At that moment, the hands on the clock began to move at the correct speed but in the opposite direction. The ghost reappeared at 7:30 p.m. What time was the clock showing at this moment? - Fog
The car started in fog at a speed of 30 km/h. After a 12-minute drive, the fog dissipated, and the driver drove the next 12-minute distance, 17 km. The driving conditions deteriorated during the last 17 km, and the driver drove at 51 km/h. a) Calculate th
