Enhancing Kinematics Understanding Through a Real-Time Graph-Based Motion Video Game
Mateo Dutra, Marcos Abreu, Martín Monteiro +4
Kinematics is a core topic in early physics courses, yet students often struggle to interpret motion and its graphical representations. To tackle these difficulties, we developed M…
Enhancing Kinematics Understanding through a Video Game Based on Real-Time Motion Graphs
Mateo Dutra, Marcos Abreu, Martín Monteiro +4
Interpreting kinematic graphs remains a significant challenge in physics education. The MissionMotion Project addresses this issue by providing a gamified physical-computational en…
Code in Motion: Integrating Computational Thinking with Kinematics Exploration
Mateo Dutra, Álvaro Suárez, Arturo C. Marti
Although physics has become increasingly computational, with computing even being considered the third pillar of physics, it is still not well integrated into physics education. Re…
Cooling of an objetct by forced convection
Mateo Dutra, Martin Monteiro, Arturo C. Marti
We present an experiment on forced convection where a previously heated object is cooled under the effect of a controlled stream of air. We consider a square copper plate in which…
Seeing the invisible: convection cells revealed with thermal imaging
Renzo Guido, Mateo Dutra, Martín Monteiro +1
Fluid instabilities are ubiquitous phenomena of great theoretical and applied importance. In particular, an intriguing example is the thermocapillary or Bénard-Marangoni instabilit…
How far away is infinity? An electromagnetic exercise to develop intuition regarding models
Alvaro Suarez, Martin Monteiro, Mateo Dutra +1
The estimation of the electric field in simple situations provides an opportunity to develop intuition about the models used in physics. We propose an activity aimed at university…
Bernoulli's muddle: a research on students' misconceptions in fluid dynamics
Alvaro Suarez, Mateo Dutra, Martin Monteiro +1
Bernoulli's equation, which relates the pressure of an ideal fluid in motion with its velocity and height under certain conditions, is a central topic in General Physics courses fo…
When the quarter jumps into a cup (and when it does not)
Mateo Dutra, Álvaro Suárez, Martín Monteiro +1
While Bernoulli's equation is one of the most frequently mentioned topics in Physics literature and other means of dissemination, it is also one of the least understood. Oddly enou…
