Normal coordinates in a system of coupled oscillators and influence of the masses of the springs
Alvaro Suarez, Daniel Baccino, Martin Monteiro +1
Experimental analysis of the motion in a system of two coupled oscillators with arbitrary initial conditions was performed and the normal coordinates were obtained directly. The sy…
An experiment to address conceptual difficulties in slipping and rolling problems
Alvaro Suárez, Daniel Baccino, Arturo C. Marti
A bicycle wheel that was initially spinning freely was placed in contact with a rough surface and a digital film was made of its motion. Using Tracker software for video analysis,…
Using the Euler method in a spreadsheet to study a nonlinear oscillator
Alvaro Suarez, Fernando Tornaria
The one-dimensional nonlinear oscillations of a magnet attached to a spring and interacting with a set of magnets are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The equation of mot…
Video-based analysis of the transition from slipping to rolling
Alvaro Suarez, Daniel Baccino, Arturo C. Marti
The problem of a disc or cylinder initially rolling with slipping on a surface and subsequently transitioning to rolling without slipping is often cited in textbooks. The following…
A dynamical model of remote-control model cars
Álvaro Suárez, Daniel Baccino, Arturo C Martí
Simple experiments for which differential equations cannot be solved analytically can be addressed using an effective model that satisfactorily reproduces the experimental data. In…
Student Conceptual Difficulties in Hydrodynamics
Alvaro Suarez, Sandra Kahan, Genaro Zavala +1
We describe a study on the conceptual difficulties faced by college students in understanding hydrodynamics of ideal fluids. This study was based on responses obtained in hundreds…
