Gravity force - Simulation

By Sandile MHlophe -

 

Topics

  • Gravitational Force
  • Inverse Square Law
  • Force Pairs
  • Newton's Third Law

Description

Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Adjust properties of the objects to see how changing the properties affects the gravitational attraction.

Sample Learning Goals

  • Relate gravitational force to masses of objects and distance between objects.
  • Explain Newton's third law for gravitational forces.
  • Design experiments that allow you to derive an equation that relates mass, distance, and gravitational force.
  • Use measurements to determine the universal gravitational constant.

BENGITHI LIZOKUNA – NG Sibiya

By Sandile MHlophe -
 BENGITHI LIZOKUNA – NG Sibiya Umbuzo: Xoxa ngempumelelo yombhali ekudluliseni umyalezo othi: 'Izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yethu neyabanye abantu' ubhekise kulaba balingiswa: uMhlengi/Mahlengi, uNontobeko, uXolani, noNgidi kule noveli ethi, Bengithi Lizokuna. ISINGENISO Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli umayelana nokuthi izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle kwabanye abantu nakithina uqobo. Ohlolwayo angasebenzisa la maphuzu alandelayo namanye amayelana nomyalezo kule noveli.

IMPI YABOMDABU ISETHUNJINI – JC Buthelezi

By Sandile MHlophe -
 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungawazisi umndeni wakho kuba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yakho. UMZIMBA  UBafana  Ukuba yisifundiswa kukaBafana kwenza ukuba uBafana awubukele phansi/angawazisi umndeni wakhe. La maphuzu alandelayo akhombisa izinto ezenziwa uBafana ukungawunakekeli umndeni wakhe:  • UBafana uxosha umalume wakhe kabuhlungu uma ezocelela izingane zikaLinono indawo yokuhlala.  • Ukungazwani kukaBafana noPoppie kwenza u-Euthenasia eqe ekhaya.  • UBafana akanasikhathi sezingane zakhe.  • UBafana uba nomona ngokuzithuthukisa kukaPoppie ngokufunda umtshela nokuthi akayeke ukufunda.  • Ukuhluleka kukaBafana ukubhekana nezinkinga zasemzini wakhe kwamenza walifulathela ikhaya. Umphumela wokungawazisi umndeni empilweni kaBafana: • Udlala izin...

 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungabi nesimilo esihle kungaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yethu neyabanye abantu. UMZIMBA  UDumazile  Ukungabi nesimilo esihle kukaDumazile esemncane noma eseganile kwadala le miphumela engemihle elandelayo:  • Ukuqoma uthisha uMoloi ebe eyingane yesikole okwaba nomphumela wokukhulelwa ingane kaMoloi nokuxabana noMisi Hlophe bebanga uMoloi  • Ukuxoshwa kukaDumazile esikoleni kunomphumela omubi ngoba kugcina kuxabanise abazali bakhe.  • Ukuqoma uSithole ngemuva kokuxoshwa nguMaNzimande emzini kaSithole kwagcina kunomphumela wokukhulelwa ingane kaSithole.  • Ukuhlela isu lokushisa isitolo sikaSithole kwaba nomphumela wokuthi uSithole agcine esehlupheka ngoba umshwalense wala ukusikhokhela.  • Ukuba nobudlelwano bezoc...

UBHUKU LWAMANQE – EJ Mhlanga

By Sandile MHlophe -
 Umlingiswa ongummeleli emdlaweni othi, Ubhuku lwamanqe. ISINGENISO  Ummeleli ngumlingiswa oyiqhawe. Indaba yonke incike kuye.  Yize engekho kwezinye izehlakalo kodwa ziyamthinta ngandlela thize. Indaba yonke imayelana naye. Ubhekana nenkinga ethile ashikashikeke ezama ukuyixazulula. Kuyenzeka aphumelele noma ehluleke.

Do we have free-will?

By Sandile MHlophe -
 Are you free?  we often think we are free but are we really free? this question sounds so simple yet it is actually not. What does it even mean to be free? Well in this post I will explain to the best of my knowledge what is free will and whether we have it or not. can you escape fate? Let's consider the story below: When Thabiso was born a prophet foretold that he would grow up to kill his father and then marry his mother. His father fearing for his life decided to leave the baby in the wilderness with the hope that he will die, thefore the prophecy will not come  true. The baby was found by another couple, and grew up knowing them as his parents. The boy heard of the prophecy, not knowing his adopted and because he loves his father(adopted) he decided to go away from his family to avoid the prophecy. In the way he met and killed a man and then felt bad for the wife of this man, he decided to marry her. The man he met is in fact his fat...

Break Up

By -
Khumalo Hendricks and I are no longer an item, as if this month could not get any worse. First the robbery now a break up, The reason is simple, our energies did not align anymore. I am no longer the same person I was prior the trauma and he just could not handle the change. We just drifted apart and no longer felt each others vibe. Anyways, such is life he was a great guy. I still haven't gone to therapy regarding my trauma, I do not know perhaps I am scared of being vulnerable and out in the open. Oh well we shall see, maybe next month I sure will give it a try.  Still practicing gratitude though, I am grateful to be alive an experience the blessing that is life itself. Until next time, bye.

A traumatic era

By -
On a serious note, I do not come bearing good news, from an in house robbery, to being rejected by something important in my life, to an unexpected turn of events that keep on spiraling out of control all happening under a space of two weeks, I think its safe to say I need therapy.  However, remember my post on gratitude? I think it would be hypocritical of me to not note the positive things that have been happening amidst all this chaos. I am grateful I am still alive, things could have turned for the worse, I mean, an in house robbery, where one is pointed with a gun and still makes it out alive, that is worth praising. Yes, the trauma is real, Its like a shadow that follows you everywhere you go, and plays you your least favorite part of the movie, time and time again with no, pause, fast forward or delete button(hence the therapy I am recommending to myself), However I am grateful for the life I have, I can still live to tell my story of survival (to myself of course).
