5 Days to Go

As the days passes on the more we are press on time to complete everything for school and getting every thing out of the way for the upcoming exams. For today's class we went old school and went over the worksheet with the magnet and the coil of wire. Remember the charge of the coil at the end where the magnet enters or come out of is the opposite of what you think.

Example:








Then after we went over some questions on a different worksheet with ratios of voltage and coils. Finally for review for tomorrow's test and Monday's exam do questions 44- to the last last question on the exam review and good luck every one!

Again, no one seemed to scribe so I guess I'll do it.

Today, Ms. Kozoriz found out that for the last two days we technically didn't learn anything new, since we did Sudoku with one sub and just went over answers with another.

So, Ms. K popped in a DVD so that we could learn more about how magnetism and electricity are related, and how electricity can be converted into magnetism and vice versa.

From there, we were handed a worksheet that had to do with transformers and told to finish the worksheet that had seven questions that use the equation that deals with Electromotive Force or Voltage Potential Difference.

The potential date for the test is either Wednesday, if Ms. K believes we're ready, and if not, Thursday.

Next scribe for tomorrow will be Tony.

Thusday, January 15 2009

Hello Everybody,

Kamil reporting in, sorry for being a day late, its a long story.
On thursdays class we had a substitute, he gave us sudoku puzzles for an obscure reason, and said if we finished them we might get an A+ for the whole course, yeah and legless man can sprint. After words we recieved a combined circuits work sheet and a chapter 25 fill in the blanks sheet.

A very Cold, Cold Day

Hello everyone, Rojuane here to scribe.
I almost forgot to scribe, but I remembered!

Today a good class. We basically went over the worksheets that were given a couple of days ago. The answers to the Compound Circuits are found on the blog just below my scribe. The Power in Electric Circuits worksheet with the 4 diagrams were assigned by groups to find the Current, Volt and Resistor. Then that's when the bell rang.

Here's stuff to know about a series circuit:
Current is constant throughout the entire circuit. For the individual potential drops add up to the total potential drop.

For a parallel circuit:
Individual currents add up to the total current. Potential difference is constant across all parts of the circuit.

Here are things to REMEMBER:
Test on Electric Current: Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
Physics Exam: January 26th, 2009 - AFTERNOON

Make sure to do your Physics Exam Review to do well on the exam and to refresh your memory!
Good Luck Everyone!

Last Blog! YAY! Sorry for the late blog!
Kamil, you're next.. so you better do it!
Off to bed for a very early doctor's appointment,
Goodnight! :)

Thursday's Blog

Today in class we got a lot of work sheets to go crazy over. We also did some corrected so here we go..

We went over the Chapter 23 Study Guide we got the previous day:

(Click to enlarge)

Then we got 2 new worksheets to work on: 31 Circuit Symbols and 32 Circuits and Circuit Diagrams:

(Click to enlarge)

Afterward we got another worksheet: Simple Circuits. We went over question 1:

(Click to enlarge)

Annd that's it! Question 2 on that Simple Circuits worksheet is due for tomorrow.
The next scribe will be Dana.

Wednesday's Blog

HELLOOOOOO. This is the day where Ms. K wasn't here and we had a sub.

We went over the: Resistivity Problems we got on monday with her. Here are the answers:

(click to enlarge)

After that, we got the chapter 23 study guide that was due for thursday.
That's about all we did in class that day!

Last First Day Back for Winter DMCI

Today in class we got back our test that we did before the break some did excellent and some didn't do to well... We also corrected the test as well.

The Next thing that we got were some sheet that we read with the whole class it was about Conventional Currents. We also got another sheet on Conventional Currents again.

After that we got handouts and one of the handouts will be due tomorrow. OH no on Wednesday because we only have half day tomorrow.

Study Hard and keep doing your work.
Rguy out

ps. ERiC you still are the scribe

Test Day

On thursday's class we did a test.

Happy Holidays

Eric is the next scribe

Saving the class from Eric's memory loss :P

Since "someone" forgot to blog again, I decided to blog for today. This class we went over our "Moving Charges" worksheet from question 11-16. We then went over the assigned questions from chapter 27's review worksheet. We also received a sheet with some short questions on the path of a charged particle in a magnetic field.

We can use the right hand rule to determine the path of the charged particle(positive or negative) with the following:

-For a positive charge, the palm of the hand will be pointing towards the magnetic force or away(on the paper) depending on the marking of the diagram(x is on to the page and o is away from the page). The thumb points in the direction of the moving particle and then wherever the fingers point, that is the direction the field will pull the charged particle to.

-On the other hand, if it is a negatively charged particle, the right hand rule will not apply so the negatively charged particle will be pulled in the opposite direction of the fingers.


Tomorrow is our unit test that will include everything(if Ms. K was telling the truth lol) we learned about electric and magnetic fields. Ms. K uploaded some of the derivations and equate smartboard notes for an extra study tool if anybody needs.

Richard blogs next.

Moving Charges Worksheet

Scribe for Tuesday, December 16, 2008 since Eric was kidnapped by Santa Claus and his evil green elves and hasn't scribed since.


AGENDA:

* Corrected Moving Charges Worksheet #1-10
* Read Magnetic Formulae handout
* Chapter 27 Review #1-7 for homework

The Moving Charges Worksheet was difficult to do at first, which is why Ms.K suggested on doing the questions in reverse order. Then it’s just a matter of knowing how to use your formulas correctly. Also, visualizing the problem (i.e. drawing a picture) helps a lot too.


MOVING CHARGES WORKSHEET

10. An electron is moving east to west at 5.0 x 10^5 m/s through a magnetic field. A force of 4.0 x 10-6 N north is acting on the electron. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field?

F = Bqv
(4.0 x 10^6) = B (1.6 x 10^-19) (5.0 x 10^8)
B = 5 x 10^7 (into page)


9. What is the magnitude and direction of a magnetic force on a proton moving horizontally to the north at 8.6 x 10^4 m/s, as it enters a magnetic field of 1.2 T pointing vertically upward?

F = Bqv = (1.2 N/(c*m/s)) (1.6 x 10^19 C) (8.6 x 10^4 m/s) = 1.7 x 10^014 [right]


8. An electron experiences the greatest force by a magnetic field as it travels at 2.1 x 10^5 m/s when it is moving south. The force is 5.6 x 10^-13 N and up. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field.

F = Bqv
(5.6 x 10^-13)/ [(1.6 x 10^-29) (2.1 x 10^5)] = B
B = 16.7 T [left]


7. A 10.0 m long high tension power line carries a current of 20.0 A perpendicular to the earth’s magnetic field of 5.5 x 10^-5 T. What is the magnetic force experienced by the power line?

F = BIL = (5.5 x 10^-5 T) (20.0 A) (10.0 m) = 0.011 N


6. A wire connecting a taillight to a motorcycle battery is 0.50 m long and is perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field. It experiences a force of 6.0 x 10^-5 N when carrying a current of 1.5 A. What is the magnitude of the Earth’s magnetic field at that location?

F = BIL
6.0 x 10^-5 N = B (1.5 A) (0.50 m)
B = 8 x 10^-5 T


5. A 15 cm length of wire carries a current of 20.0 A. It is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. If it experiences a magnetic force of 0.40 N, what is the magnetic field intensity?

B = F/(IL) = 0.4 N / (20.0 A x 0.15 m) = 0.13 T


4. Using the Millikan apparatus, a sphere of mass 3.2 x 10^-15 kg is held motionless. The plates produce an electric field strength of 19 600 N/C.


a) What forces are acting on the sphere?
electric force, gravitational force

b) What type of charge must be on the sphere?
positive

c) Determine the amount of charge on the sphere.
F_g = F_e
mg = Eq
q = mg/E = (3.2 x 10^-15 kg) (9.8 N/kg) / (19 600 N/C) = 1.6 x 10^-18 C

d) How many electrons does this correspond to?
(1.6 x 10^-18 C) x (1 electron)/(1.6 x 10^-19 C) = 10 electrons


3. The electric field between these charged parallel plates is 23 800 N/C. The drop’s mass is 2.4 x 10^-14 kg. What force would be experienced by the drop if it had the charge of three excess electrons?


F_e = Eq = (23 800 N/C) (3 x 1.6 x 10^-19 C) = 1.14 x 10^-14 N [up]
F_g = mg = (2.4 x 10^-14 kg) (9.8 N/kg) = 2.35 x 10^-13 N [down]
F_net = 2.35 x 10^-13 N - 1.14 x 10^-14 N = 2.24 x 10^-13 [down]


2. The plates are 5.0 cm apart and produce an electric field strength of 1200 N/C in the region between them. An electron enters the electric field at 1.00 x 10^2 m/s. With what velocity does the electron strike the positive plate? (Ignore gravity.)


F_e = qE = (-1.6 x 10^-19 C) (1200 N/C) = 1.92 x 10^-15 N
ma = qE
a = qE/m = (1.92 x 10^-15 N) / (9.11 x 10^-3 kg) = 2.11 x 10^14 m/s^2
v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad
v_f = [(1.00 x 10^2 m/s)^2 + 2 (2.11 x 10^14 m/s^2) (0.05 m)]^0.5 = 4.6 x 10^6 m/s


1. This oil drop of mass 4.5 x 10^-15 kg has had two electrons removed. The electric field strength is 3.0 x 10^4 N/C.


a) What will happen to the drop?
F_g = mg = (4.5 x 10^-15 kg) (9.8 N/kg) = 4.4 x 10^-14 N
F_e = Eq = (3.0 x 10^4 N/C) (2 x 1.6 x 10^-19 C) = 9.5 x 10^-15 N
F_g > F_e, so drop will fall

b) What is the total force experienced by the drop?
F_net = 4.4 x 10^-14 N + 9.5 x 10^-15 N = 3.45 x 10^-14 N [down]

Next scribe is DANA.

4 Days to go!!!

So today was simple and straight forward.

We were given out a handout for Electric and Magnetic Current.

We learned about the direction of a Force on a Current Carrying Wire, and read further into that. We learned again about the right hand rules.

Two things we were told to explicitly remember about the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field were:

1. The charge must be moving. A Magnetic field will not influence the motion of a charged particle at rest.

2. The velocity of the moving charge must have a component that is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.

We were then told to work on the Moving Charges Worksheet. Questions 1 - 10.
A Tip from Ms.K. If you get stuck at one, start at number 10 and work backwards.

The next scribe will be Eric!

December 12, 2008

Class today was simple and easy. Walking into class and hearing that I'm the scribe however wasn't as fun as I thought. Anyways, in class we did the following :

1. Finished reading "Grade 12 Physics: Gravitational Potential Energy."
2. Was handed an assignment called "Cathode Ray" but was handed in for marks.
3. Also was handed a sheet called "Appendix 2 - Fields."

So anyways, I'll see you soon and I won the bet against Mrs. Kozoriz that we had. How I was going to "forget" to scribe.

Lawrence can scribe for Monday

Charges, Energy, Voltage Lab

Answers to 33-2 Electrical Fields and Potential are found on slides 1 and 2.
Answers to Electric Potential are found on slides 3 to 7.

After reviewing our answers to those worksheets, we did a lab entitled Charges, Energy, Voltage from Chapter 21 of the green book.

In the lab, we developed a model that showed the different amounts of charges at different energy levels. We erected a ruler in a Playdoh substance and made markings at 3 cm, 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm. The 3 cm resembled 3 V or 3 J/C, the 6 cm resembled 6 V or 6 J/C, etc. We taped 4 pennies at the 3 cm marking, 3 pennies at the 6 cm marking, 2 pennies at the 9 cm marking, and a penny at the 12 cm marking. Each penny resembled a Coulomb.

A lab worksheet was handed out and has to be completed.

Next scribe is Vieteran.

Nothing much, just more printouts

This will probably be one of the shortest post in the blog, since all we did was read out from a new printout that Ms. K gave us (Gravitational Potential Energy) and work on a fun worksheet (the one with that cartoons) and a not-so fun worksheet.

And finally the next scribe will be Zeph

Happy Birthday Richard and Eric! (:

Hello everyone, Rojuane here for another scribe.

Today we went over the test questions that we finished the Electric Force worksheet.
The answers are:
1) F_E= 3.6x10^10 N
2. a) F_G=7.8x10^-47 N
b) F_E=8.8x10^-8 N
3. N_e 2.5x10^19 N
4. Q=1.76x10^8 C
5. a) F_E 1.76x10^-15 N [towards -2x10^-12 C charge]
b)a=2.6x10^11 m/s^2

Then we were given questions and pages to read from the green textbook. If you didn't catch the page numbers they are:
pg. 415-419, 1-5 p. 420 (answers from back of textbook)
and questions 1,9,10,16 (Sorry, you have to do those on your own)
DON'T FORGET to hand in those four questions for marks for tomorrow class!

Next Scribe will be, SHELLY :)

Magnetic and Electrical Fields

Today in class, we were introduced to our new unit, Magnetic and Electrical Fields. At first we wrote down a couple notes such as the differences between the two different energy fields [gravitational and electric fields-not ENERGY fields]. We also sketched out some examples on the attractive and repulsive forces between 2 different charges in an electrical field. We were also given some worksheets and notes to read from. The notes given include Grade 12 Physics: Electric and Magnetic Fields, Electric Fields and Coulomb's Law in One Dimension. Our worksheets given were Coulomb's Law, which was a brief and easy worksheet about Coulomb's Law. We were also given the Electrical Forces worksheet, which was a tougher worksheet, the questions were mainly centered around finding the electrical force of the given problems. We only worked up to question 3, and we should be done by tomorrow. Our answers so far were:
1) 3.6 x 10¹⁰ N

2)a) 7.8 x 10^-47 N
b) 8.8 x 10^-8 N

3) 2.5 x 10¹⁹ electrons

That was pretty much it for today, our next scribe will be Rojuane. :D

Review Before Test

Hi everyone. I'm going to be posting the review for tomorrow's test on gravitation and orbits.

REVIEW

Kepler's 3 Laws

For the orbital of planets the Sun is one focus point.

The areas created between 2 equal intervals of the planet's orbit are equal


Kepler's Formula


Newton's law of Universal Gravitation




Gravitational Potential Energy




Escape Velocity & g of a Planet or Sun & Orbital Velocity

Thanks Richard!

Newton's Thought Experiment
To stay in Earth's Orbit the satellite must have a velocity between 8km/s to 11.2km/s

Orbital Period


Microgravity
What is it?
-Environment with very little gravity

How can it be achieved?
-By gaining altitudes rapidly then suddenly decreasing altitude rapidly like during the NASA Microgravity Simulating Planes

Problems of Space Exploration
-Hazards
-Expense

That is all we had for a review. I might add more stuff if I find something but for now I'm getting some rest. I gotta study. Good luck tomorrow and the next scribe will be Francis.

Wednesday Dec 3, 2008

Sorry everyone i forgot to scribe yesterday. Today is Thursday, but am actually scribing for Wednesday. Hopefully no one gets confused.

This is the day where Richard & Eric presented their space exploration(mars). They were supposed to presented on Monday, however their video did not work. Their project was taped and cleverly done. The video contained humor, and rich information of the planet Mars.

Afterward, Mrs Kozoriz asked us to answer several questions from the review sheet. Here they are:

1. The radius of earth is about 6400 km. What would be the earth's gravitational attraction on 75-kg astronaut in an orbit 6400 k above the earth's surface?

6.67x10^-11(5.98x10^24)(75)/( 6400+64000)x2

Fg= 182 N

2. The Mass of Mars is about 6.6x10^23 kg. and the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7 m/s(2). What is the radius of Mars?


3. The Earth's radius 6400 km. A 25-kg mass is taken 20l km above the earth's surface.
a. What is the object's mass at this height?
- Mass does not change
- It's still 25-kg

b. What is the weight of the object at this height?

4. A sphere of mass 85 kg is 12 m from a second sphere of mass 65 kg.
a. What is the gravitational force of attraction between them?
b. What is the acceleration of the first sphere towards the second?


6. How many years would it take a planet located four times as far from the sun as the Earth to orbit the sun? The Earth's distance from the sun is 1.5x10^11 m.


Next Mrs Kozoriz went over the Gravitational fields worksheet. She only went over question # 7 & 8, but question 8 was not fully done. so i wont be answering it.

7. The planet Jupiter has a mass of 1.9x10^27 kg and a radius of 7.2x10^7 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter.

We've also watched a video about "Dark Matter" that took half the class. Well that was all for Wednesday.
We have a Test tomorrow so everyone study hard. This unit aint easy. Well then i gotta go and do ma math homework ... Pce

I've already told benjamen, so he's next to scribe. He might even be scribing now, who knows.

Monday dec 1st,2008

Hey everyone this is Jab....back on the class routine.
Today's class was fine and buzy.
First thing in today's class Mr. Joseph and Ms Shelly presented a presentation about the exploration of mars, soon as they finished Mr.Yonas and his partner (that's me) we took on the stage and presented about the biggest moon called Titan.
At last we watched a movie on weighlessness which we had to pick up seven points.

Mr. YONAS is next to describe.
