Funções aplicadas a física e química

Abstract

On this workshop, we will show a few activities using ideas from linear function, logarithm function and trigonometric function ( this one will be associated with chemistry and physics themes) . Activities abording linear function must be applied to students from 9th year from the basic education or 1st and 3rd year from the high school students. First linear function wants to focus the main ideas of movements on physics and showing its applications on functions. On this activity , the student should build na easy way to collect informations about position and time from a movement of a mobile and this one must be the nearest possible from the uniform rectilinear motion. With this device, we are going to make a film of the movement of a mobile, so then we can build a table with all the information we need. With the table we can build graphs using programs such as Excel and Geogebra. Assisted by the physics teacher, we are supposed to make some conclusions about the study of the linear function and the straight on analytic geometry Logarithm function is used to calculate the pH of a chemistry solution. The solution will change its pH if basis(NaOH) or acid(HCl) be increased to it according to this function pH = -log[H+] ou pOH = -log [OH-] → pH = 14 – pOH, with this informations we can build a pH table in function of the volume and then a graph can be constructed using Excel or Geogebra. This activity can also work intuitive notions of limit when the pH close to 7 this through both the table and the graph and finding even functions of pH correction equation. This activity should be worked with students in the 1st or 2nd year of high school with teacher intervention chemistry as applied to chemical concepts in this activity. The trigonometric functions trys to show that it is the best function to a study of periodic movements or any study that involves periodicity. For this function we will use Tracker software to collect informations about the positions of a simple pendulum in relation to its projection in horizontal and vertical according to the time. Tracker is very helpful because it can film a lot of positions that occurs on this experience. All work activities interdisciplinarity between mathematics and physics or between mathematics and chemistry and so showing that mathematics is not just an isolated sciences as many students think.
