    1. The document contains 17 physics problems proposed for the 34th International Young Physicists' Tournament (IYPT) in 2021. The problems cover topics like boat design, magnet motion, sensors, wind speed measurement, candle synchronization, fluid dynamics, and more. 2. Each problem poses a phenomenon to investigate and explains relevant parameters to study how they affect the behavior. For example, Problem 4 asks to determine how temperature drop of a coil depends on wind speed when measuring it as a wind speed sensor. 3. The problems aim to explore fundamental physical principles through experimental investigation of interesting everyday phenomena. The committee hopes participants will gain insight into nature by designing innovative experiments and thinking creatively.
