Masses and springs - Simulation

By Sandile MHlophe -

 

Topics

  • Periodic Motion
  • Hooke's Law
  • Conservation of Energy
  • Newton's Laws
  • Measurement
  • Vectors

Description

Hang masses from springs and adjust the spring constant and damping. Transport the lab to different planets, or slow down time. Observe the forces and energy in the system in real-time, and measure the period using the stopwatch.

Sample Learning Goals

  • Determine the factors which affect the period of oscillation
  • Find the value of g on Planet X
  • Design an experiment to determine the mass of an unknown object
  • Describe the relationship between the velocity and acceleration vectors, and their relationship to motion, at various points in the oscillation
  • Explain how the free-body diagram of the mass changes throughout its oscillation
  • Explain the Conservation of Mechanical Energy using kinetic, elastic potential, gravitational potential, and thermal energy

AWUWELWA UMNGENI – M Gcumisa

By Sandile MHlophe -
 Umlingiswa ongummeleli emdlaweni othi, Awuwelwa Umngeni. 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.

IMPI YABOMDABU ISETHUNJINI – JC Buthelezi

 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...

Why liminal spaces are uncertain and ambiguous and promote a feeling of communitas amongst the people who occupy these spaces.  Posted by  Sikhanyisiwe Mkhonto We are constantly moving from one space to another. These are often large socially constructed spaces that create meanings or serve a function in our society. There are however spaces where we are neither in nor out. This space is the centre of two large spaces. A small space where one feels connected with the fellow members who are occupying that small space in that moment (Shortt, 2015: 634). Turner investigated the works of Arnold Van Gepp who spoke of the concept of ‘rite de passage.’ Victor Turner’s focus was the liminal period of a ritual. ‘Liminality is ambiguous, this is because the individual is not being classified into any category which confirms their role in a cultural society’ (Turner, 1969: 95). In this liminal period members involved experience a sense of harmony, this is what Turner labels as communit...
