REFLECTIVE JOURNAL IN PHYSICS 2

LAST February 14 , 2019. Was our first meeting with Sir Joshua
Soriano, a professor from Philippine normal university (PNU) he
discussed the course syllabus in physics 2, and the course requirements
which are the improvisation, reflective journal and portfolio.

We need to make it up for the lesson because the prelim is about to

end he discussed all the lessons/topics that he needs to discuss before
the midterm. Although it was too late for lesson he still insisted to
teach the remaining lessons to us.

Reflective journal – an individual activity that we need to submit ever

Monday he discussed the scoring, ojectives the task description and the
grading criteria. The reflective journal is similar to a diary where
assigntments and activities and lessons and what ever task we do inside
the room. Sir Soriano gave us instruction on how to do it, including the
journal’s format, and how to write it. In every criteria. There is
corresponding grade for the journal. It is good to hear that sir Soriano
will not be grading zeroes. We can also be creative in creating the
reflective journal, and even draw or insert pictures as long as it is
related to the lesson or topic.
 REFLECTIVE JOURNAL
Thremodynamics-
The lesson about thermodynamics. We tacked more
computation than the last meeting. Anyway it seems physics is
getting more complicated huh? However, I’m trying to listen as
hard as I can to memorize the formula so I could compute the
new problems brought by the temperature and its so hard to
I just have learn that the temperature is the level of or degrees
of hotness or coldness of an object. Heat is the energy from
higher temperature difference between two object. Slowly
realizing that most in my childhood was a lie. I knew Fahrenheit
and celcius for a very long time but I still don’t know to convert
it both ways. Jokes on me. We also learn to compute the
thermal capacity but the thing is I wasn’t able to focus on it
because I’m stressed to my major subject And I don’t know
what to do.
 Specific heat – the specific heat is the amount of heat
per unit means required to raise the temperature by one
degree Celsius the relationship between heat and
temperature change is usually expressed in the form
shown below where c is the specific heat. The
relationship does not apply if a phase change is
encourtered because the heat added or removed during
a phase change does not change the temperature the
specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram c = 4.186
joule/gram c which is higher than any other common
substance as a result.water plays a very important role in
temperature regulation. The specific heat per gram for
water is much higher than that for a metal as dedscribed
in the water-metal example for most porposes it is move
meaningful to compare the moral specific heat of
substance
