Message
Congratulations Physoc on your 14th Anniversary!
You achieved your theme for this school year 2012-2013,
“D.A.R.E.S. to Progress” which is proven by the winnings of your
members in the Philippine Astronomical Society Astro-Quiz 2013
and Quizzardry, research presentations in national physics
conferences, extension services to various high schools, and
lecture series and seminars which manifest strong bond and
support between the society and alumni.
Indeed, even you are a small group, you always aim high, and
as usual hit the set goal. Continue the habit of being on top and
soar high.
God bless!

Message
Once again, we celebrate Physics Days. The celebration aims to
strengthen the bond among the BS Physics students, alumni, physics
faculty members, university and college officials, and stakeholders.
This year’s theme, “D.A.R.E.S. to progress” was chosen because
it highlights the society’s trust on achieving and sustaining culture of
excellence in academics, research and extension services while
promoting development among its members. It is our fervent hope that
the two-day activities would foster camaraderie through the prepared
special events such as fellowship, Physikalan and talent contest and
better understanding on fundamental physics through Physics
Olympics, exhibit, and film showing. An addition to this year’s events
is the Physics Booth which includes Research Booth, Optical Illusion
Booth and Photo Booth.
May we all have a successful celebration!

Message
Good day PUP Physics Society!
It has been a year since we had celebrated the Physics Days
2012. The time seems to proceed fast and we are now here,
celebrating the Physics Days for this year 2013. With that, I welcome
you to Physics Days 2013.
The Physics days last year was celebrated for 3 days. Now
we will hold this celebration for 2 days. The main reason is the
disruption of the classes because of the renovation of the rooms in 6th
floor of our university. Though that is our case, all of us must still be
glad and excited because we can still celebrate physics days.
Furthermore, with our being active, energetic and humorous, we can
make Physics days happy, successful and meaningful just like the
previous ones.
With that, I encourage the members of the society to participate
in the Physics days activities. Let us make this event great, significant
and victorious. Thank you very much. Mabuhay tayong lahat!
Welcome to the Physics days 2013! More power and have a greater
momentum!

Paper Tower (E609)
OBJECTIVE: To construct a free-standing tower of maximum height using a single sheet of
bond paper (long size).
MATERIALS: Ruler and pair of scissors or blade (provided by the students)
TEAM: 2 members each group
RULES:
1. Each team will be given one sheet of paper and 2 small rolls of tape at the start of the
contest. Only one entry will be allowed for judging. Each team should have only one
entry.
2. The sheet of paper may be cut into pieces and reassembled as desired. Parts may
be rolled, folded, or slit.
3. Tapes may be used to fasten the parts of the tower together. It may not be used to
attach the tower to the floor or any other object.
4. No other glues or tapes may be used. The paper may not be soaked, painted or
chemically treated to add rigidity.
5. A tower shall be declared free-standing if it remains self-supporting until measurements
on all entries are finished. Towers that fall down before this time shall be
disqualified.
6. Height is determined by measuring the perpendicular distance from the highest point of
the tower to the floor.
7. The three tallest towers will be declared First, Second and Third Place Winners,
respectively.
Physics Days 2013 Physics Olympics
Pasta Bridge (E609)
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the game is to build a bridge out of pasta that can support
heaviest load.
TEAM: Maximum of two (2) members
APPARATUS: Construction and materials of the bridge are as follows:
1. The bridge shall be constructed by the team before the contest.
2. Pasta and glue are the only materials to be used.
3. Only glue stick will be used in tying or fastening the pasta noodles sticks of the
bridge.
4. The bridge shall allow a 10 cm cube to slide underneath perpendicular to the bridge’s
length without touching the bridge.
5. The bridge shall allow a 40 cm wide by 2 cm high board to slide underneath
perpendicular to the bridge’s length without touching the bridge.
6. The bridge must be free-standing.
7. The bridge shall provide a smooth and level surface across which a small car of the
“Matchbox” variety may roll given a single push of the hand. The road surface (level
surface) shall have a minimum length of 20 cm.
8. The bridge shall contain no element wider than 5 mm x 5 mm pasta. Two or more
single pieces, each separately qualifying, may be attached by the student without
violating this requirement.
9. The bridge design shall allow masses (“weights”) to be hung at the center of the
bridge. For this purpose, a rope should be used. It should be placed over the level
surface, at the center of the bridge, and should be formed into a closed loop such that a
weight hanger can be hung at the lower portion of the loop. Weights can then be placed
on the weight hanger.
10. Only one bridge may be entered per team. All entries must be submitted during
registration.
11. Any bridge not meeting the above restrictions will be automatically disqualified.
12. Once the bridge is checked in, no further work on it will be allowed or permitted.
TESTING:
1. The bridge shall be placed upon the ends of two level table surfaces approximately 35
cm apart.
2. A weight hanger shall be suspended from the lower portion of the loop of a roop placed
over the level surface at the center of the bridge. Standard weights should be slowly
added until an audible cracking sound, or any sign indicating the failure of some
structural member or joint of the bridge, is noted.
3. The maximum load supported by the bridge before cracking divided by the mass of the
bridge will determine the winners accordingly.
Physics Days 2013 Physics Olympics
Large Barge (E611)
OBJECTIVE: The main goal of the game is to construct a barge that can support the greatest
load without sinking.
TEAM: Composed of 2 members
MATERIALS: Aluminum foil, water, basin
RULES:
1. Each team will be given a piece of aluminum foil not more than 30 cm in length.
2. Each team will construct within 15 minutes a barge out of the given material without
using tape, glue, staples or any other material.
3. The barge must be loaded while floating on a basin of water.
4. Only dry loads should be used. If any water leaks into the barge during the loading
process, the barge will be considered sinking. Thus damp or wet cargo must be
unloaded, the barge dried and reloaded. Only two reloading will be allowed.
5. Each team will be allowed one repair of its construction after thorough drying.
6. The barge that supports the heaviest dry load will be considered the winner and others
judged accordingly.
7. Loads will consist of standard weights. The dry load just before the barge sinks will be
the one recorded. If the load gets wet, the test must be repeated. Only 2 repetitions
will be allowed. Consistently wet cargo will be a cause for disqualification.
Kite Flying (PUP Oval)
OBJECTIVE: To be able to create a kite that could reach the highest point I
TEAM: 3 members
MATERIALS: Home-made Kite
RULES:
1. The members of the team must construct the kite prior to the contest.
2. The size of the kite depends on the members. The string that will be used is a twisted
nylon. Threads are not allowed to be used.
3. One player will hold the string and the other one will hold the kite. The person who
holds the kite will run as fast as he could and let the kite fly up.
4. After half an hour or so, the facilitator will mark the string that was held by the member
and the member will drag the kite and the facilitator will measure the length of the
string used.
5. The team with the longest string is the winner.
Physics Days 2013 Physics Olympics
Egg Transport (E611)
OBJECTIVE: To build a vehicle powered by a rubber band(s) or rubber strip(s), which can
carry an egg to the greatest horizontal distance.
TEAM : Maximum of two (2) members per team.
RULES :
1. The contestants are to design and construct their own “cart” or vehicle prior to the
contest. The cart or vehicle can be made of any inanimate material (commercial or
scratch-built) like an empty spool. This is to be checked in. No further work will be
allowed after checking in the device during registration.
2. The rubber band(s) or strip(s) as a source of energy must be a part of the
vehicle. Catapults or other launching devices external to the vehicle (or initially
connected or attached to an object/point external to the vehicle) are not allowed.
3. Up to 6 rubber bands or strips may be used. A strip formed into a loop will be counted
as two strips. The width of the band/strip should not exceed 5 mm.
4. The maximum mass of the vehicle or device should not exceed 100 grams.
5. The egg may be rolled or carried by the vehicle.
6. The egg should remain unbroken or undamaged during the roll or transport.
7. A starting line will be marked on the floor.
8. The vehicle must move on a lane 50 cm wide. If the vehicle strikes the boundary side
or line in the course of the roll/transport, that point will be marked as the end of the
roll.
9. If the egg separates from the vehicle, the point at which the egg separates will be
marked as the end of the roll/transport.
10. Winners will be determined on the basis of horizontal distance moved (perpendicular to
the starting line) during the roll/transport.
11. Each team will be allowed two trials, with the greater distance retained for purposes
of the competition.
Kadang-Kadang (PUP Oval)
OBJECTIVE: To complete the relay at the shortest possible time
TEAM: consists of 3 members
RULES:
1. The members of the team must construct the bamboo slits prior to the contest.
2. The game will begin once the facilitators have given the command to do so.
3. The players will have to race back and forth by means of the pasta noodles stilts.
4. The player should tap the hand of the next player in line to indicate his/her completion
of his/her part.
5. The current player will hand the bamboo stilts for the next player to use.
6. In case the facilitators run out of bamboo stilts, the team could still finish the race,
provided that they will be using the finishers' (or the first team to finish) bamboo stilts
to finish the remainder of the relay.
7. Questions will only be entertained before the start of the relay.
Physics Days 2013 Physics Olympics
Egg Drop (Main Bldg.)
OBJECTIVE: To provide a container that will protect a raw egg when dropped from an
altitude to a hard surface like a concrete flooring.
TEAM: Maximum of two (2) members. At least one (1) team member must be assigned to
drop the container.
APPARATUS:
1. The members of the team must construct (at home, etc.) the container prior to the
contest.
2. Each container must meet the following specifications:
3. Body size - the container must fit inside a rectangular box 10 cm x 10 cm x 20 cm.
4. Parachute - 20 cm x 20 cm x 40 cm.
5. A variety of materials may be used: tooth picks (max. of 500g) paper, cardboard, foam
materials (like styrofoam), rubber bands, string, glue (max. of 200 g), etc.
6. At no time during the fall may any part of the container have any material exceed the
maximum dimensions as outlined above. This allows for parachutes and other wind
dragging elements, provided they remain within 20 x 20 x 40 cm3 dimensions throughout
the fall.
COMPETITION:
1. A medium size chicken egg will be supplied for each entry. Eggs will be furnished at the
physics olympics site. Contestants must be able to secure their eggs in the containers
within 10 minutes immediately prior to the drop.
2. The container will be dropped from successive heights until a breakage occurs. The
minimum height a container must survive is one meter.
3. Between drops, repairs may be made provided no additional material is added to the
container.
4. The mass of the entry container will be determined before the first drop.
SCORING:
In determining the winners, the following formula will be used:
Score = (100 x H) / M1.6
where H = greatest height in meters, attained without breaking.
M = mass, in grams, of the empty container.
The exponent places a high premium on economy of design.
1. The entry obtaining the highest score will get the 1st Place, and so on.
2. In the event that the eggs still remain unbroken at the maximum height available in the
area, the entries will be judged according to their masses. The lightest will be declared
winner and if a tie occurs, both will be declared winners. (Example: If there are two First
Placers, they will each get 20 points, but the next in rank will get only the points for the
Third Placer)
Physics Days 2013 Physics Olympics
Paper Airplane (6th Floor South Wing)
Objective: This game aims to construct an airplane of largest range and longest time of
flight.
TEAM: Maximum of two (2) members per team.
A. The competition
1. Two separate rounds will be run, one for distance and one for time of flight. The same
plane must be used for each round. Each team will have only one airplane.
2. Regarding the construction of the paper airplane:
3. Each team will be given a piece of paper out of which the paper airplane is to be
constructed.
4. Each team should finish construction of the plane within 30 minutes after the start of
the contest.
5. In each case, the following rules and requirements pertain:
6. Preferably, competition will take place in an open air field or gymnasium where wind
velocity is negligible and insignificant and launches will be executed by the competitor
horizontally from a standing position, and at shoulder level.
7. Stepping beyond the assigned marker will be a fault.
8. A second fault will disqualify the contestant.
9. Each team will be allowed two launches in each round with the best score for the set
being retained for purposes of the competition.
10. Each team will compete in each part of the competition.
11. No practice flights will be allowed in the vicinity of the launching area during the
duration of the contest.
SCORING:
Distance Round
1. The plane should be launched horizontally at shoulder level.
2. Horizontal distance from the point in the ground directly below the launch point to the
position of first impact with the ground will be measured.
3. Impact with any object prior to hitting the ground will allow a repetition of a
launch.
4. The greatest distance achieved will be awarded 20 points with all other scores
scaled proportionately to distance achieved to the nearest tenth of a
point.
