Calculating a journey to Mars with introductory physics
Jorge Pinochet
The problem of a crewed mission to Mars provides a compelling and realistic context for teaching introductory physics. In this work, we present a coherent set of calculations descr…
Networked Observatory for Virtual Astronomy (NOVA): Teaching astronomy with AI
Jorge Pinochet
The term artificial intelligence (AI) first appeared in the mid-20th century. It wasn't until well into the 21st century that AI began to flourish. Today, AI has found very diverse…
Advanced physics transposition (APT): A new name for a not-so-new field of research
Jorge Pinochet
Research into educational physics is a field of study that has undergone sustained growth in recent decades. Among the topics addressed in educational physics, there is a relativel…
Visualisation of matrix product: Using light to clarify an abstract mathematical concept
Jorge Pinochet, Walter Bussenius Cortada
Teaching the noncommutativity of the product of matrices to high school or college level students is a difficult task when approached from a purely formal perspective. The aim of t…
Graphic relation between amplitude and sound intensity level
Jorge Pinochet
We present a simple experiment that allows us to demonstrate graphically that the intensity of sound waves is proportional to the square of their amplitude, a result that is theore…
Classical Tests of General Relativity Part I: Looking to the Past to Understand the Present
Jorge Pinochet
Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR) provides the best available description of gravity. The recent detection of gravitational waves and the first picture of a black hole h…
