Problem Solving, Analysis and Evaluating of the Validity of Results

Direction: Solve the given problem using systematic/logical solution. Make an analysis and evaluation of the results. Rubrics will be used in marking.

(1) Determine if v = 0.01c; 0.1c; 0.5c; 0.6c; 0.8c; 0.9c; 0.99c; 1.00c; and 1.1c (5 marks each; 45 marks)

(2) Tabulate the results (5 marks)

(3) Graph and analyze (10 marks)

Rubrics on Problem Solving

5- logical solution (identified known and unknown variables, formula, substitution of values, answer and conclusion); 4- solution (identified known and unknown variables, formula, substitution of values, and conclusion); 3- solution (identified known and unknown variables, formula, substitution of values, and answer); 2-formula and substitution of values with answer; 1- any correct answer; 0- Incorrect answer/No answer

Rubrics on Graphing

5- correct plotting of all the required values and variables (in X and Y axis), correct scale and graphical presentation; 4- any missing variable but correct graphical presentation; 3- any two missing variables but correct graphical presentation; 2- any three missing variable but correct graphical presentation; 1- any correct item; 0- incorrect graph/no graphical presentation

Rubrics on the Graphical Analysis

5- relationship of function to velocity, initial value and as velocity approaches the speed of light; 4- any one missing item; 3- any two missing; 2- any three missing; 1- any correct item; 0- incorrect analysis/no analysis
