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. […]
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? […]
Four problems are discussed giving’ a schematic solution and an evaluation. […]
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. […]
Two problems are discussed, giving a schematic solution and an evaluation […]
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, […]
