Advanced Problems in Elementary Physics

The session will demonstrate some means to challenge high school students (those, who need this) with some non-standard problems in elementary physics. Those problems are based on the physics high school curriculum and do not require any additional knowledge. The examples of these will be presented and solutions will be demonstrated.
