WEEK 1
ACRIVITY 1: Make a table with the following columns: philosopher name, lifetime period
and philosophical contribution. Fill in the columns with a timeline showing the possible
overlap of the lives of these philosophers. They may add other philosophers who were
contemporaries of four.
Name of Philosopher Lifetime period Contributions
Aristotle 150 years He invented the field of formal
logic, and he identified the
various scientific disciplines
and explored their
relationships to each other
Thomas Aquinas 49 years He produced a comprehensive
synthesis of Christian theology
Ralph Waldo Emerson 78 years Author of such essays as “Self-
Reliance,” “History,” “The
Over-Soul,” and “Fate.”
Confucius 71 years Confucius laid emphasis on
family, kinship, loyalty,
righteousness, encouragement
of humanity and
strengthening social bonds.
Michel Foucault 57 years His best-known works
included Discipline and
Punish: The Birth of the
Prison (1975) and The History
of Sexuality, a multivolume
history of Western sexuality.
David Hume 65 years Hume conceived of philosophy
as the inductive, experimental
science of human nature.
Immanuel Kant 79 years His comprehensive and
systematic work in
epistemology (the theory of
knowledge), ethics, and
aesthetics greatly influenced
all subsequent philosophy,
John Locke 72 years He founded the modern theory
of Liberalism and made an
exceptional contribution to
modern philosophical
empiricism.

ACTIVITY 2: Provide myths, legends or superstitious beliefs about the moon, eclipse, and
other astronomical phenomena (meteor shower, etc.). choose only one from the following.
Myths about solar eclipse is that, Solar eclipses can cause blindness due to its harmful rays,
Eclipses are signs of very bad about to happen. The solar surface is not directly visible and it is
not harmful to eyes to look at it. But, if you see the brilliant solar surface before totality, eyes will
catch the glimpse of the bright light and it can damage the retina of the eye.
ACTIVITY 3: answer the following questions briefly but substantially
1. What was Brahe’s most important contribution to the development of models of the
universe?
He discovered that the planets circle the Sun in circular circles. He proposed some
straightforward laws that administer the movement of the planets and different articles, His
investigation of the "new star" that showed up in 1572 showed that it was farther away than the
Moon and was among the fixed stars, which were viewed as great and perpetual.

2. Why was Kepler’s first law of planetary motion so radical?

Kepler's laws of planetary movement mark a significant defining moment in the change from
geocentrism to heliocentrism. They give the primary quantitative association between the planets,
including earth. However, significantly more they mark when the significant inquiries of the
occasions were evolving.

WEEK 2
ACTIVITIES: answer the following questions substantially.
I. Identify whether the following statements below suggest a truthful account about Newton’s
First Law of Motion by answering TRUE or FALSE, if, otherwise.
TRUE 1. Inertia is a force
TRUE 2. Inertia is a force which keeps stationary objects at the rest and moving objects in
motion at constant velocity.
TRUE 3. Inertia is a force which brings all objects to a rest position.
TRUE 4. All objects have inertia
TRUE 5. A more massive object has more inertia than a less massive object.

II. Solve for the following problems using Newton’s Second Law of Motion. Strictly follow
GRESA.

1. Sophia, whose mass is 52kg, experienced a net force of 1800 N at the bottom of a roller
coaster loop during her school’s physics field trip to the local amusement park.
Determine Sophia’s acceleration at this location.

2. What is the force exerted by an 80kg person running on a field with an acceleration of
3 m/ s2?

3. A 1 kg object accelerated at a constant 5m/s2. Estimate the net force needed to

accelerate the object.

III. Analyze the following situations below. For each stated action force, identify the reaction
force.
 1. An archer shoots an arrow. The action force is the bowstring against the arrow. What
is the reaction force?
Arrow’s push against the bowstring, it is given that during the shooting of an arrow, the
string exerts a force on the arrow. From Newton's third law, the arrow should also apply a
force on the string. Thus, the reaction force is, arrow's push against the bowstring.
2. A player catches a ball. The action force is the impact of the ball against the player’s
glove. What is the reaction force?
The force of glove exerts on the ball.
3. A player hits a ball with a bat. The action force is the impact of the bat against the
ball. What is the reaction force?
The ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the bat, the baseball forces the bat in one
direction and the bat forces the ball in the opposite direction.

WEEK 3
ACTIVITY 1: Think and Explain
1. What is the advantage of having matte (non-glossy) pages of a book rather than pages with
a glossy surface?
The matte covering gives a smoother show than an uncoated sheet, and milder than the presence
of a gleaming sheet. Matte sheets are good for enhancing visual designs with a more subdued
layout and color set without having a lot of glare which glossy coatings suffer from.

ACTIVITY 2: Think and solve. Below are the formulas that you can use to solve for the
following problems

v v
f= v=λ . f λ=
λ f

1. Calculate the frequency of a) 20-cm radio wave; and b) 10−15 m x-ray.

2. Determine the wavelength of the microwave radiation emitted…

a. … by a microwave oven ( f =2.45 x 10 9 Hz ).
b. … by a cordless phone ( f =5.8 x 10 9 Hz ).

WEEK 4
ACTIVITY 1: Read the situation below and answer what is being asked.
Two lights are arranged above a white sheet of paper. When the lights are turned on they
illuminate the entire sheet of paper (as seen in the diagram below). Each light bulb emits a
 primary color of light – red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Depending on which primary color
of light is used, the paper will appear a different color. Express your understanding of color
addition by determining the color that the sheet of paper will appear in the diagrams below.

ACTIVITY 2: Think and Explain

1. Ultraviolet (UV) light causes sunburns, whereas visible light even of greater intensity does
not. Why is this so?
More energy is associated with each photon of ultraviolet light than with a photon of visible light.
The higher-energy ultraviolet photon can cause sunburn producing chemical changes in the skin
that a visible photon cannot.

WEEK 5
ACTIVITY 1: Answer the situation briefly but comprehensively.
1. If photons were capable of perceiving the effect of length contraction, what length would
they assign to an object which measures 1 meter in its proper reference frame?
v2
√
We can see that the time and length in special relativity are changed by a factor of 1−
c2
. In the

case of length, we get the rather amazing result that from the point of view of light, all material
objects contract to zero length since v=c . Therefore, the meter stick, as well as any object, has
zero length as measured by our perceptive photons.

ACTIVITY 2: Solve for the following problems. Show your complete solution.
1. A 16-year old girl sends her 48-year old parents on a vacation trip to the center of the
Universe. When they return, the parents have aged 10 years, and the girl is the same age as
her parents. How fast was the ship going? (Give your answer in terms of a fraction of the
speed of light.)

2. The starship Voyager has a length of 120m and a mass of 1.30x106 kg at rest. When it is
travelling at 2.88x108m/s:
(a) What is its apparent length according to a stationary observer?

(b) What is its apparent mass according to a stationary observer?
