WEEK 1 - A
Activity 2. Guess Who?

Direction: Identify which of these personalities are physicist

Stephen Hawking
Albert Einstein

Guide Question/s:

1. What do you think Physicist’s do?

➜ A physicist is a scientist who researches different areas of physics, such as energy and matter.

2. Do you think anyone can be a physicist? Do you think you could be a physicist one day?
➜ Anyone can be a physicist if they really want to. It doesn't matter how high your IQ is; if you enjoy
learning and testing new things, you won't find this difficult. Do I, on the other hand, believe I might
become a physicist someday? No, I do not believe so. I don't think I'd be able to carry out any
experiments, especially because I'm not really good at mathematics, which is essential in physics.

3. Why is this field important?

➜ Physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s
understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration.

4. How are scientists making discoveries in this field, are they conducting experiments, are the building
models, are they doing calculations, etc.?

➜ There are two categories of physicists: experimental and theoretical. Experimental physicists work in
laboratories to test hypotheses and theories, make new discoveries, and explore new applications of
concepts. Theoretical physicists, on the other hand, employ mathematics to discover interpretations of
experimental data, establish new theories, and come up with new hypotheses.

5. Give your insights on this “Mathematics is the language of physics”.

➜ Mathematics is an essential and fundamental element in physics. It is known as the "language of

physics" because it helps and facilitates understanding of the topic of physics. Physics provides a
solution to the issue of how anything operates or begins to work. Do you believe there would be no
gravity or oxygen if physics didn't exist? Is it possible for individuals to stand, move, and breathe? No,
without physics, the universe would not exist, and without the universe, man would not exist. On the
other hand, a world with physics but no mathematics would be complete chaos and suffer a great deal
of disarray. As a result, without physics, there would be no such thing as a planet or life, and without
mathematics, there would be a chaotic and unorganized universe.

Activity 3. “Multiples and Equivalent Units of Measure”

Complete the patterned measures.

1 yard 2 yards 3 yards 4 yards 5 yards

3 feet 6 feet 9 feet 12 feet 15 feet

36 inches 72 inches 108 inches 144 inches 180 inches

Answer each.

4. A rope is 16 feet long then which one is true for the length of rope: 192 inches or 5 yards?
➜ To convert feet to inches you can multiply the value to 12. So that 16 multiplied by 12 is equal to 192
inches. Thus, 192 inches is true for the length of the rope.

5. Car A is 9 feet long, car B is 110 inches, and car C is 3 yard long. Which one is the longest?

9 feet ➜ 9 feet × 12 = 108 inches

110 inches

3 yard ➜ 3 yard × 36 = 108 inches

Therefore Car A and Car C are the longest.

Activity 4. “Units of Measurement and Their Differences”

Compare the units of measure using the symbols <, >, =.

A.
1. 34 inches < 3 feet
2. 45 inches < 4 feet
3. 7 feet = 84 inches
4. 62 inches > 5 feet

5. 10 ft = 120 inches

B.
1. Jasper's chain is 2 feet long; Ade's chain is 26 inches long. Which chain is longer?
➜ Jasper's chain is 2 feet long, which is the equivalent of  24 inches; Ade's chain is 26 inches long. Thus,
Ade's chain is longer than Jasper's chain.

2. A pole is 12 feet long, is it longer than 48 inches?

➜ No, because 12 feet is equivalent to 144 inches, so 12 feet is longer than 48 inches.

3. Mike can jump 2 feet, Gina can jump 12 inches. Which one can jump higher?

➜ It is Mike who can jump higher because 2 feet is equivalent to 24 inches.

4. Car A is 13 feet long and car B is 158 inches long. Which one is longer?
➜ The longer one is car B, at 158 inches long.

5. Which is greater: 74 inches or 6.5 feet?

➜ 6.5 feet which is equivalent of 78 inches, is greater than 74 inches.

3.
°C = 5/9 (°F - 32)

°C = 5/9 (210 - 32) K = °C + 273

°C = 5/9 (178) K = 99 + 273

°C = 98.9 K = 327

°C = 99

Activity 8. “Uncertainty and Error Analysis”

Direction: Solve the following problems. Indicate the complete solution.
°F = K (1.8)
1. Two trials were performed in an experiment to determine - 459.67
the latent heat of vaporization(Lv) of water
at 100°C. The values
°C = K - 273 of Lv of water obtained were 532 cal/g and 536 cal/g.
°F = 450 ( 1.8) - 459.67Find the percent difference
between the two values.
°C = 450 - 273 °F = 810 - 469.67
°C = 177 °F = 350.33

°F = 350
2. Referring to problem #1, find the percent error for each measurement if the accepted value of Lv of
water at 100°C is 540cal/g.
