Anno XXXII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1999 In 1998 a book was published in which some physics problems from oral admission examinations at Ecole Normale Sup6rieure in Cachan (France) were collected. These are all problems dealing with physical phenomena of our daily life, used to investigate the ability of candidates in constructing a good model of different physical situations. […]
Anno XLI - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2008 During the school year 2005/2006, within the National project ?Adopt a School from the Antarctica? and in collaboration with the ENEA research centre ?Laboratori del Brasimone?, two classes of 15 year old pupils had the wonderful opportunity to follow a ?real? […]
Anno XXVII - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1994 Four problems are discussed giving’ a schematic solution and an evaluation. […]
Anno XXV - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1992 This article presents the physics problems set for the written tests of the final examinations in the experimental secondary schools in 1991. We offer a possible solution and a short comment. […]
Anno XXVIII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1995 Two problems are discussed, giving a schematic solution and an evaluation […]
Anno XL - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2007 Among the forces affecting the equilibrium of an object submerged in a fluid, the present work will focus on the impact of the object on the fluid rather than on the buoyancy of the fluid itself. If the former is measured by means of one-pan balance, […]
Anno XXIV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1991 The phenomena of deterministic chaos and fractal geometry are described in a simple and “naive” form, with the main purpose of stressing the great significance of theory in the context of deterministic chaos and pointing out the role of the mathematical tool in determining a framework capable of describing and explaining many natural phenomena.
