Phys 1 Prelim Results

Good day, Phys 1 people!!!!

Sorry for the long wait,guys. I've been spending some days in a remote area. But anyway,FINALLY, here's now your prelim result.:) Just click on your section on the upper right corner of this blog under RESULTS.

Advance happy new year.

phys 21 self test

Good pm, phys 21 folks!!
I've made a very short self test for you, (as requested by some of you,:)). This test has almost the same level of difficulty with the one we've had in chapter 1. Try to test yourself. Answer all the questions within 1.5 hrs. I've already included in there its answer key so that you may check your answers afterwards.

Just click "phys 21 chapter 1 self-test" on the upper right corner of this blog under the "DOWNLOADS".

Go and test yourself. :-)

Nat Sci 1Prelim Exam Result

Good day, nat sci people! ;)

You can now view the result of your prelim exams. Just click on the link on the upper right corner of this blog under RESULTS.

Advance happy new year, everyone! :-)

To my Phys 21 studs

Good Day, guys!!
Here is your Take Home Quiz..

You can print it out. Just click on the "phys 21 take home quiz" under the DOWNLOADS on the upper right corner of this blog..

Scientists and engineers seldom work in isolation from one another but rather work cooperatively. I know you will learn physics even more and have more fun doing it if you work with other students. But please do not just "copy paste" the answers of others. YOU MUST understand the solution you are writing.

Please pass it NOT LATER than 2:30 pm tomorrow...

To my Nat Sci 1 studs

Good day, folks!

I was not able to give you your handouts on chapter 5, a topic under midterm coverage, just as I’ve promised you. As you might have experienced, we had no electricity that Saturday and Sunday, that's why.

Anyway, you can print it out for yourself. Just click on the link “nat sci 1 chapter 5 fluid mechanics” on the upper right corner of this blog under the DOWNLOADS. Please study it in advance for we may have a short quiz by the time we resume our classes.

Enjoy your Xmas vacation!!!

Good Study Habit

Here is a good study habit I want to share to you. Please read it as it may serve as a good advice on how you can learn well. =)


First of all, motivate yourself to love the topic you are about to study. Once you learn to love it, you would be interested on it. And that is the time when a striving force builds inside you which would urge and help you understand and memorize it easily.

Before starting, make a survey of what are the materials needed in studying it. Also, figure out an overall picture of what needs to be studied in it. This would make you comfortable, for not being disturbed by missing things during the time of studying.

When you study, do not just run your eyes over the books. Read it by actively answering questions the author(s), your instructors, or you have asked yourself. Do not skip the tables, illustrations, or diagrams because they greatly guide you in understanding the lecture.

Also practice exercises in the books. This is especially effective in mastering solving problems in math, chemistry and physics subjects. Quiz yourself in order to know how much you can recall.

Reviewing is an important process in studying. This tightens and intensifies what you have covered in your head. Go over your notes to further clarify what you have not comprehended. The best time to review is right after you have studied.

To my Phys 21 studs

Good day!
Regarding your assign #2, do not include problem 6 in your handout (taken from University physics 10th edition) as it is similar to problem 2.76...
And here is the list of the final answers.
2.39) (a) 2.94 m/s (b) 0.599 s or 0.6 s
2.61) Break
2.76) time = 3.00 s and the distance = 3.60 m

I already gave you the answers. Now, find the correct solution.
=)

Physics News 866, June 4, 2008

ON VERY THIN ICE For the first time, scientists have obtained pictures of ice only a few nanometers thick in the act of forming bulk ice at the coldest of temperatures. The new images, showing ice sheets about 50,000 times thinner than a human hair, add to our knowledge of water, that remarkable molecular substance that is common on Earth, and found in significant amounts in other places around the solar system. Usually we think of ice as forming from tiny six-sided crystals. The six-fold symmetry of classic snowflakes comes from the way water molecules fit together. But at very low temperatures, close to absolute zero -- the coldest conceivable state of matter -- water molecules don’t behave the way they do at warmer temperatures. Like people first waking from a sound sleep, water molecules in this chilly environment can’t move very well. If you spray them onto a platinum surface they tend to stay where they land. If you keep adding water, the molecules form a solid called amorphous ice, with all of the molecules sticking together wherever they can. Because of the extreme cold, the molecules don’t have enough energy to line up to form a crystalline array. Raise the temperature a bit, just above 120 K, and now the molecules have a chance to creep around enough to start assembling a proper crystal. But these little blobs still aren’t in the familiar hexagonal shape. Instead the water molecules form a cubic crystal structure. To form common ice, with its hexagonal structure, a little bit more warmth is required - a still-frosty 160 K. Konrad Thürmer (kthuermer@gmail.com) and Norman C. Bartelt, two scientists at Sandia National Laboratory in Livermore, California, were interested in exploring the early formation of ice as part of their research into the initial stages of the growth of crystal films. The device they used to make the ice pictures is a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), whose tip is scanned across the face of the ice sheet, can be used to form an image of the ice. The images show ice crystallites much smaller than previously seen (see figures at http://www.aip.org/png/2008/303.htm). Earlier attempts to image very thin ice sheets with an STM failed because it is difficult to conduct electricity through ice. But this time the scientists got just enough electricity to flow across the gap from tip to sample - partly by cranking up the voltage and partly by making a stepping-stone path for the electricity to follow through the ice. What did they find? When the ice film was really thin, only about 1 nm thick on average, the water molecules formed into little islands of ice. When the thickness reached 4 or 5 nanometers, the ice started to form larger joined chunks. They believe that when one tiny crystallite adding molecules on a downward going slope meets with a crystallite with an upward-going slope, the two structures start to pivot around each other. This accounts for the somewhat corkscrew appearance of the patchwork quilt of merging ice sheets. (Physical Review B, May 2008)
