Aguilar, Horacio Munguía; Maldonado, Rigoberto Franco; Navarro, Luis Barba – Physics Education, 2018
In hydrostatics, pressure measurement with U-gauges and their relationship to density is a well-known experiment. Very little is studied or experimented with the dynamics of the movement of a liquid in a U-tube probably due to its theoretical complexity but, after all, it is a simple damped oscillating system. In this paper we present a relatively…

The analysis, calculations and graphical charts presented here in this paper are based directly on a recently published paper by the first two of the above-named authors. In the present paper, it is clearly demonstrated that all of the following nine (or eleven including the centripetal acceleration and total mechanical energy) principal physical…

Under certain conditions a body of hot liquid may cool faster and freeze before a body of colder liquid, a phenomenon known as the Mpemba Effect. An initial difference in temperature of 3.2 °C enabled warmer water to reach 0 °C in 14% less time than colder water. Convection currents in the liquid generate a temperature gradient that causes more…

Although mostly not perceived consciously, mirages are very familiar phenomena of everyday life. They can generally occur if light is incident on media with a gradient of refractive index. This article starts with the easiest mirage effect, known as astronomical refraction, then presents examples for inferior and superior multiple image mirages,…
