Analytical and Experimental Study of a Variable-Mass Oscillator with Constant Mass Loss
Rod Milbrandt, Josep Ll. Suñer, Juan C. Castro-Palacio +2
We present an analytical and experimental study of a variable-mass oscillator with constant mass loss. Starting from the equation of motion of a spring-mass system whose mass decre…
Bringing Engineering into the Physics Lab: Exploring Crank-Slider Dynamics with Smartphones
Josep Ll. Suñer, Rod Milbrandt, Juan C. Castro-Palacio +3
Many of the students enrolled in the calculus-based physics sequence are pursuing engineering degrees. Lab activities that have a direct connection to engineering, analyzed with th…
Uniform and Accelerated Circular Motion with a Smartphone: A No-Code, AI-Generated Browser Laboratory
Josep Ll. Suñer, Francisco M. Muñoz-Pérez, Juan C. Castro-Palacio +4
Smartphones have become a standard measurement instrument in the physics laboratory. Their built-in accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, and cameras have been used to investi…
Combining Physics and Mathematics Learning: A Taylor Series Analysis of an Oscillating Magnetic Field
Santiago Ortuno-Molina, Adrian Garmendia-Martinez, Pedro Fernandez-de-Cordoba +3
In this work, we present a simple and low-cost experiment designed to study the oscillations of the magnetic field created by a cylindrical magnet under two different conditions: f…
Using a remote control to determine the infrared absorption coefficient in water
Santiago Ortuno-Molina, Adrian Garmendia-Martinez, Francisco M. Munoz-Perez +2
In this work, we present a simple and low cost experiment designed to determine the infrared water absorption coefficient. We used a TV remote control as a point source of infrared…
A very low-current electromagnetic induction experiment enhanced by acoustic means
Santiago Ortuno-Molina, Rod Milbrandt, Juan C. Castro-Palacio +1
We have created a simple, portable, low-cost setup allowing the students and teachers to experiment with and discuss electromagnetic induction in a safe way, using low currents. Th…
