We approximate the magnet by a point magnet and the pipe by a two-dimensional cylindrical surface. Independent of the magnet's orientation, the drag force is proportional to its velocity: F→d=−kv→. We show that the coefficient k→ of the horizontally oriented magnet is about 2/3 of the coefficient k↑ for the vertically oriented magnet. If the magnetic moment makes an angle θ with the vertical direction, the drag coefficient k can be expressed as k=k↑ cos2θ+k→ sin2θ. When the magnet falls with a non-vertical orientation, a local charge distribution is induced in the pipe, which plays a role as important as that of the time-varying magnetic field due to the falling magnet in generating the eddy currents. The model's predictions are compared with experimental results.","PeriodicalId":7589,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43840496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whiting was strongly influenced by Edward Pickering and the early physics laboratory education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This article explores the early development of laboratory work in astronomy education at Wellesley and Whiting's underlying philosophy of education. By laboratory work, Whiting meant day-time work, including work with astronomical photographs and spectroscopy. Her pedagogy was encapsulated in her phrase “to sharpen the pencil sharpens the mind,” which referenced the importance of a student's familiarity with tools as well as the role of drawing in astronomical work. Whiting further modeled her instruction after the work being conducted at the Harvard College Observatory in order to prepare her students for potential future employment as astronomers.","PeriodicalId":7589,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45699527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the previous work [Am. J. Phys. 49(7), 685–688 (1981)], a stationary solution of a functional, applied over curves in two-dimensional velocity space, was used to find explicit expressions for what was claimed to be a minimum turn time trajectory. In this paper, this work is furthered by a formal demonstration that the turn time associated with this trajectory is indeed lower than that corresponding to any other smooth trajectory. Supporting evidence for this claim is provided by numerical procedures, which are developed to allow comparisons between the turn times of competing trajectories across a range of parameter values of the turn width, the initial speed, and the magnitude of the acceleration vector.","PeriodicalId":7589,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45769847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The programming and pricing of this microcontroller is similar to that of commonly used Arduino microcontrollers, but the Teensy 3.5 offers superior hardware performance. Our Teensy-based phase-sensitive detector can operate either with an external reference signal or by internally generating a reference signal. Additionally, we have developed an open-source graphical user interface for controlling the instrument. We demonstrate that our phase-sensitive detector exhibits good linearity in amplitude and phase, even with 25 mV signals dominated by larger-amplitude noise. We also use our phase-sensitive detector in a simple laboratory measurement: determining the distance dependence of the intensity of a light-emitting diode (LED) with the room lights on. Our instrument is a useful tool for teaching students about phase-sensitive detection and can be a viable low-cost alternative to commercial lock-in amplifiers.","PeriodicalId":7589,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41354448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use this connection to show how some well-known inequalities, such as the standard bounds for the logarithmic function or generalizations of Bernoulli's inequality, can be derived by thermodynamic methods. Additionally, we show that by comparing the global entropy production in processes implemented with decreasing levels of irreversibility but subject to the same change of state of one particular system, we can find progressively better bounds for the real function that represents the entropy variation of the system. As an application, some new families of bounds for the function log (1+x) are obtained by this method.","PeriodicalId":7589,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46505404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Timberlake, Robert Valentin Mbenoun Mahend","doi":"10.1119/5.0100950","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1119/5.0100950","url":null,"abstract":"When learning about potential energy functions, students are sometimes told that the potential energy function is analogous to that of a particle sliding along a frictionless roller coaster track or wire confined to a vertical plane with peaks and valleys of the track corresponding to unstable and stable equilibrium points. However, motion along a track with height z(x) is a constrained two-dimensional motion, not a one-dimensional motion, so the exact nature of this analogy may be unclear. We show that the horizontal motion of a point mass sliding along a frictionless track z(x) and subject to a uniform gravitational field is equivalent to the motion of a particle in one dimension characterized by an “analogous potential energy” function UE(x), which generally depends on the total energy of the system (and thus on the initial conditions). We derive a general expression for UE(x) in terms of z(x) and the total energy and show that the equilibrium points of the actual potential energy U(x)=mgz(x) are also static equilibrium points for UE(x) with the same stability. However, UE(x) may have additional dynamic equilibrium points that are not present for U(x). As an example, we derive UE(x) for a double well track and determine the period of oscillations on that track. The results show that in general a single track corresponds to many different analogous potential energy functions, each with a different value for the total energy.","PeriodicalId":7589,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45743172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
