Learning in fun ways :)

We never finish learning!
We are in the last partial and in our Physics class we started learning about Torque. And what is torque?The measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, equal to the vector product of the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force and the force vector.
In our physics class we first do a excercise to have an idea how torque work.
First we had a ruler balanced over a balance that we put a clip on to maintain that balance

Then we put some metric masses in the corner of the ruler and obviously the ruler wasn't balanced so we moved a little the metric masses to have the ruler balanced again.
With the ruler balanced we obtained some data and with that we got torque.

as we can see, we obtain this data and we practiced obtainig Torque that is F*r that means force, time radio.
We did this in one physic class but this is not the end, here we did some other things to have an idea of what is torque and the force that acts over it.
We did a little experiment with a wheel and a rotational platform
but torque here? Torque is here because we need a force to rotate and we have to spin the wheel and with the platform we moved while the wheel was moving with a force.

but to have a good idea of what we talked about in this class we saw a gyroscope and we remembered when we played with a beyblade,a gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaing orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum, and represents the product of bodies insertia and velocity. Here we saw that the angular moments was acting over the object.

Merry-Go-Round .Who as a child has not played on a merry go round?
all children play on a merry go round, but now we can know that, that game has a part of physics,
we use a force to rotate the merry go round and the force is toward the center.
we need a force also to obtain the body of my classmates to the center.

This was our physics class and this is how we were learning about torque.
 

Kart (Physics Activity)

On Wednesday 20 we did an activity in our physics class to make it interesting and fun!

We got together in pairs and took a wodden kart. The mass of our kart was of 273.1 g 

What we wanted to do in this activity was apply the second law of motion. 

 

With a tool called "Sping Scale" we were able to measure the force required to pull the kart.

We did this activity three times and within each trail we put on top in the kart a certain amout of weight (masses). 

After doing the activity 3 times we wrote down our results. In each trial we got different results so because we already new how much was the mass and force on used of each trail we isolated so we could we the acceleration and we did. 

Our results were the following: 

Being able to do this activity was really fun! 

Just Pictures...

Special Event...

Out of all the special events I can think about, I will write about my grandma's 80 birthday! 

In about two weeks my grandma will turn 80 and with my family we are planning a big family trip for her! My grandma's other daughters are comeing from the United States as a surpise for her. I know that she is going to love everything we are plannig for her. I can see that God has blessed my grandma's life with so many things because she has been and excellent daughter, great mother and the best grandmother ever! She has lived so many years because as the Lords first commandment he will bless all his sons and daughters if they honor their parents! My grandmother has been an excellent example for my life! She has taught me to be responsable, honest, a great and loving daughter! 

I love her so much and I know that she will have a excellent surprise the day of here birthday! 

Un Viaje Para Relajarme

Mis experiencias viajando por Honduras me han llevado a la conclusión de que nací en un país precioso, el cual tiene diversidad de paisajes y esto lo confirmé cuando hice mi viaje a las aguas termales de Gracias, Lempira. Pude disfrutar con mi familia de un baño en unas deliciosas piscinas con agua caliente y las cuales pude disfrutar a la hora de la noche, y rodeada de una espesa vegetación que me hacia sentir como que estaba en una selva muy lejos del ruido de la ciudad.  

HONDURAS

My lovely Pets!

Since I was a little girl I have always loved animales, in my families farm we have always had a lot of animles!
The only thing I have never liked about changing pets is when my old pet dies! Sometimes I feel like if my pets were my sibblings(I know that sounds crazy) but its true!
I have had dogs, cats, cows, horses, sheeps, birds and many other pets!

I have never been a big fan of cats but at the end they are vey useful and the baby cats are so cute!

 The horses are so nice because I can ride on them, sometimes I get scared because they are not really tamed but the good part is that I have never fallen of one of the horses!

All the birds are super beautiful! I am trying to teach one of them to speak(I haven't had success) the only thing they do is whistle!

Sometimes whrn my grandfather and I are cleaning the birds cage in the morning the birds try to escape so when they do they always come back like two or three days later because I think they realize they have a good life in there cage!

I never know when the birds are fighting of playing because they are so rough with each other! That gets me scared because one time I found one of the little birds bleeding! 

The cows are super cool! Sometimes if I wake up really early in the morning my cousin lets me help him take the milk out of the cow. It feels really funny at first but then  I get use to it so its cool. 

This is just a picture of one of my dogs but in the farm there are 8 dogs more! The dogs are actually my favorite animal I dont know why but they are! I just love the way the look at me and I love how they are always playing around so they are all so cute! 

I am thankful with God because he has bless me and my family with such great things!

The three laws of Newton related to dancing!

In our last physics class we did a very fun activity! We danced on a dance pad that a classmate took to the class! We had so much fun but when we were finished we were told we had to do a blog post relating our dance activity with Newtons three laws of motion! Here I go...

Picture: José Popoff

FIRST LAW
  If there is no force on an object, then its velocity is constant. The object is either at rest or it moves with a constant speed in a single direction.
I think we applied this law when we had to wait for a while when someone was selecting the song, so when it was time for me or any other classmate to dance we would get ready and when the computer told us to step on the right arrow we did so we could see that first the Dance pad was at rest then it canged when we started dancing!

SECOND LAW
This law describes the relashionship between sn object's mass and the amount of force needed to accelerate the object. 
I think we applied this law when we had to use our weight by stepping on the arrows on the pad. For some people it was easier because they had more mass then other do! The really skinny people had to put a greater amount of preasue but the ones that were a little bit chubbier did not have the same problem! 

THIRD LAW 

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 

I think we applied this law when we were dancing because when we stepped on one of the arrows the computer transmitted what we did so we transmitted the action and the computer showed the reaction!
