On our fourth experiment in my Physics 102.1 class, we were able to study and learn more about capacitors. They are devices in a circuit that are used to store energy in the form of voltage. The materials used in producing them usually have a low resistance value, so it has to be paired with… Continue reading Capacitanz
Kirchoffz
When a circuit involves many series and parallel combinations of resistors, solving for the value of the current and potential in each path becomes a difficult task. Often times using a voltmeter and an ammeter would be a big help, but moving these in different places in the circuit is arduous and time-consuming. Most people… Continue reading Kirchoffz
Resistance
After learning about Coulomb’s and Gauss’ law in Physics 102, I was now able to understand Ohm’s law, especially the function of resistance (R) which is essential to the law’s equation. A series of experiment was done to show its function, as well as the the relationship between the current and voltage. To further understand… Continue reading Resistance
Equipotential..
In our first experiment day in Physics 102.1 last Monday, June 18, we were tasked to prepare a setup to identify the equipotential lines of the metal objects when an 8V power is ran through them. The setup contained a power source, 2 sets of different metal objects, electric wire connectors, (not sure of how… Continue reading Equipotential..
Continuation
Last Monday all we did was to continue (again) our projectile motion experiment. Though we already prepared the setup, did the experiment, and recorded data from the past 2 meetings, only now were we given the experiment guides containing the materials and goals of the experiment. Fortunately, all the data we’ve gathered were relevant in… Continue reading Continuation
Faith, Unity, Democracy
This February 25, Force Majeure Events Management Experts held a gala presentation of Cory ng EDSA: The Grand Filipino Musicale in SM North EDSA (https://www.facebook.com/events/233155430093523/) The People Power Revolution shows us how we should stand up for our rights and for what we believe is right. If the Filipinos then remained silent and didn’t express… Continue reading Faith, Unity, Democracy
Pendulum!
Our topic for two Mondays now is simple harmonic motion, which is manifested in the motion of a pendulum and a stretched spring. Like the previous experiments, the steps were not mentioned, only the topic, the materials and the idea to be proven was said. But during this time, the materials that we’re supposed to… Continue reading Pendulum!
Balancing
The concept of torque is best seen on things we usually do, like opening a door, lifting dumbbells and even on playing a yo yo. In all of these things, we are all aware that they can be done the easiest if we put our force far from the point of the rotation of the… Continue reading Balancing
Projectile Mowshen
The second contraption we used in our Physics 101.1 class is the projectile launcher. Like what its name says, it is a device used to launch a metal ball into the air by a pulling a metal bar and releasing it (spring compression). Our main task is design an experiment to prove that the motion… Continue reading Projectile Mowshen
LabQuest!
In our last Physics 101.1 session, we were introduced to a new device called LabQuest. It was the first time I have encountered the apparatus but to my surprise, it was not that hard to use it. After a couple of changes in its settings and a attaching the sensor to it, we’re all set… Continue reading LabQuest!
