Pembelajaran Gerak Harmonik Sederhana Menggunakan Magnetometer pada Smartphone
Untuk memahami konsep gerak harmonik sederhana (GHS) di sekolah menengah atas dapat dilakukan melalui percobaan getaran pegas menggunakan magnetometer pada smartphone. Percobaan memerlukan aplikasi magnetometer pada smartphone android, magnet kancing, pegas, plastisin yang akan digunakan sebagai beban, mistar, dan holder stand smartphone. Magnet dan beban digantungkan pada ujung pegas dan ditarik sejauh 2 cm, sehingga pegas bergetar. Eksperimen dilakukan untuk lima beban yang berbeda (30-gram, 40-gram, 50-gram, 60-gram, dan 70-gram). Sensor magnetometer yang diletakkan di bawah pegas akan menghasilkan visual gerak harmonik pegas dengan menampilkan grafik medan magnet (B) terhadap waktu (t). Melalui grafik B vs t dapat dianalisis pengertian GHS, gaya pemulih, satu getaran penuh, perioda, frekuensi, amplitude, hubungan perioda dengan massa dan menentukan nilai konstanta pegas. Diharapkan pemanfaatan sensor pada smartphone menjadi alternatif metoda eksperimen bagi guru dalam menyampaikan konsep abstrak kepada siswa

Home-Made Simple Experiment to Measure Sound Intensity using Smartphones
The researchers present a simple experimental activity to measure the sound intensity level using an Android-based smartphone to prove the inverse square law and analyze the dependence of the sound intensity to the sound source frequency. The type of this study was quantitative research by conducting level of intensity experiment using a pair of smartphones with one smartphone functioning as the sound source using a tone generator free application (app) and the other smartphone functioning as the detector installed with Physics Toolbox sound meter application to measure the arriving sound intensity level. The smartphone functioning as the sound source was placed at a certain place labeled as the origin point (0.0), while the other smartphone as the detector was placed at various distances on the x-axis. In this study, the frequencies of the tone generator used were 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz. Then, the sound intensity level versus distance was analyzed to determine the compatibility between the experimental results using a smartphone and the prevailing theory, namely the inverse square model. The sound intensity level detected by the smartphone from 2,000 Hz resulted in the graph with smaller slope after passing 0.3 meters. The results follow the theorem of which the sound intensity level at the detector depends on the distance between the source and the detector based on the inverse square law. When the frequency of a source was changed (500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000), the sound intensity also changed. Higher frequency leads to a larger sound intensity. The experiment can thus be used to assist high school students and physics undergraduates in understanding the inverse square law of sound or to study environmental noise with a simple and low-cost experiment

Constant speed motion analysis using a smartphone magnetometer
This study demonstrated that the constant average speed of a dynamic car could be measured and calculated using the smartphone magnetometer. The apparatus setup was built using a dynamic car, a linear track up to 1.50 m, a bunch of magnets, and a smartphone magnetometer application. The smartphone magnetometer application, ‘Physics Toolbox Suite’, was free for the experiment. The magnet and smartphone magnetometer were attached on a linear track and dynamic car, respectively. When the dynamic car are moving on the car track, the smartphone magnetometer will measure the magnetic feld value versus the time relation. The magnetic feld value will fluctuate, increasing when close to the magnet or decrease when the distance from the magnet increases. The magnetic feld properties (peaks time) versus the magnet distance position were analyzed using linear ftting, and we fnd the average speed of the dynamic car. We hope that this magnetometer experiment will be valuably used in general physics laboratories
