Abstract In an attempt to prove Newton’s linear equation using several methods. New formulae were obtained for eight rectilinear motion and several other new formulae were obtained for linear momentum were obtained for linear momentum, energy, power, and projectiles. Keywords: Linear Momentum, Impulse, Work, Energy, Power, Newtonian Physics, Rectilinear Motion, Linear Motion, Projectiles,
Physics concepts have played a significant role in the development of technology, industries and social development. There are exciting and productive careers emanating from good understanding and application of physics principles, concepts and science process skills learned in physics education. In Kenyan secondary schools, one is allowed to sit for at least two sciences at the Kenyan Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations. Students are allowed to choose any two science subje...
ABSTRACT This study was designed to determine the effect of frequent testing on students’ performance in some selected physics concepts at Accra Girls’ Senior High School. The purpose of this research study was used to determine the effect of frequent testing on the performance of students in some selected physics concepts as well as perception of students about frequent testing. The research design used was an action research. The participants were form two science students of Accra Gir...
There is no gainsaying that technology has drastically reduced incidences of electoral malpractices such as: ballot stuffing, result sheet mutilation, manipulations, over voting, alteration of result sheets and hijacking of ballot boxes in the history of Nigeria elections. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has employed a number of innovative approaches to improve the management and conduct of elections in the country. As years pass by, INEC gets more sophisticated with it...
ABSTRACT This study investigates’ the Causes of Examination Malpractice in Physics in Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination in Oshimili South Local Government Area, Delta State. Five Secondary Schools in Oshimili South Local Government Area were selected for the study. The population of the study comprised students. Four research questions were formulated for the study. A sample of two hundred respondents was used using stratified random sampling technique. Data collected was ana...
ABSTRACT This study described the theory and mechanism for the simultaneous determination of major, minor and trace elements involved in Neutron Activation Analysis, applied to geological and environmental samples as a sensitive and non−destructive tool. Using Neutron Source, the gamma−rays emitted due to neutron capture have been applied for the investigation of the elemental constituents and concentrations of major, minor and trace elements in such samples. Neutron Activation Analysis ...
Abstract- The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of gender discrimination on the academic achievement of female student; the study was carried out using five senior secondary schools in Karu LGA, Nasarawa State as case study ex-post facto research design was used for the study. Finding revealed that by overall performance, male students performed much better as compared to their female counterparts. Results shows, teacher’s negative attitudes and behaviors and, time wasting amo...
ABSTRACT This study investigated teaching mechanics with mind mapping instructional strategy in Tertiary Institutions in Ekiti State. A research survey design was used for this study. Four research questions were raised for the study. Simple random sampling techniques was used to select forty (40) students from Physics Department in College of Education, Ikere Ekiti which made up the total sample size for the study. Simple mean and standard deviation was used to analyze data collected for...
The study investigated the influence of physics teachers and other necessary resources on students’ achievement and enrollment in senior secondary school Physics. The research design adopted for the study was meta-analysis. This involved collecting, aggregating and combining the results of comparable studies into a coherent account to establish the relationship between variables in the study. Four research questions were answered and findings revealed that there is inadequate number of qual...
The study investigated the relationship between Locus of Control, Study Habits, Gender, and Attitude of senior secondary schools physics students in Ibadan metropolis. The study focused on the extent to which Locus of Control, Study Habit and Gender predicted senior secondary schools students Attitude to physics in Ibadan metropolis. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design of the correlational type. The population for the study comprised all senior secondary school 3 (SS3) Ph...
A Research Project for Educational Technologist. Deep study into Gamification of a system SCOPE OF STUDY The study is focused and centered on gamifying physics concepts to be thought by physics teachers using gamified applications to facilitate a better understanding of the subject by the student. It unveils a new knowledge on how games can affect learning environment, as well as impact gamification has had on the learners in the education system today. AIMS...
This paper reviewed the need for information and communication technology (ICT) in tertiary institutions curriculum content, implementation as policy and activity in Nigeria tertiary education in order to meet up with the educational goals. This is carried out with respect to the notion with ICT in curriculum implementation by Koehler and Mishra (2009), Information and communication technology strategy by Johnson and scholes (2004).

This seminar report is meant to determine the Earth’s gravity anomalies of south-western Nigeria using the gravity model equation. This development has led to the formulation of rigorous mathematical analysis. The gravity anomalies data over the area of study are generated from a computer program written in MAT-LAB, which is then contoured to produce a 3-Dimensional anomaly maps.
Abstract This paper investigates the physics concepts, basic principles, basic procedure, merit and demerit of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging. As a widely used medical technique, this type of imaging utilizes the inherent magnetic properties of protons in human cells. Superconducting magnets are generally enclosed in a large housing unit to scan various parts of the body. Although there are no biological hazards yet associated with this technique, extreme caution must be taken when wo...
