Effects of an in-service training program on physics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge : The role of experiments and interacting bodies in teaching Newtonian mechanics
… of interaction (interacting bodies) in teaching Newtonian mechanics. Moreover, the goal was to examine the influence of teachers' beliefs about interaction on students conceptual understanding of force. The model of pedagogical content knowledge and the model of practical conceptual change formed …

Estudo do movimento de balanço de um sistema com perturbação interna
… The mathematical model is obtained by the Newtonian Mechanics. One establishes the rtability chart with exact and with approximate conditions, following the Lienard-Chipart criterium. One investigates the influence of typical excitations on the box and its base and the effect of the …

Análise de vibração de uma haste sob a ação de forca centrifuga e de Coriolis
… of motion may be established by Lagrangian or Newtonian Mechanics and result in non-linear second order differential equations. The stability regions of the motion are determined by the criterium of Ljapunov; the analysis of motion is done in the phase plane where one can integrate the equation …

Detection, patterns, consequences, and remediation of electronic homework copying
… This algorithm was applied to three successive Newtonian Mechanics classes at MIT: Fall 2003, Fall 2004, and Fall 2005, affording unique insight into the dynamics of physics homework copying, and allowing contrasts between the performance and behavioral patterns of students who copy a lot and …

An adaptive domain-independent agents-based tutor for Web-based supplemental learning environments
… Web-based multimedia resource for college-level Newtonian mechanics. The Personal Tutor (PT) is an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) integrated into PIVoT, assisting students and teachers in navigating through, understanding, and assessing PIVoT's educational media. PT is adaptive in that it …

Investigating the Diversity of User Experiences in an Educational Game
… Fuzzy Chronicles, a physics game targeting Newtonian mechanics, used within a 7th grade STEM class. The 97 players within the study were assessed using a pre and post test of physics understanding, as well as an engagement survey after playing. Their logged game data was also collected. A …

Korrelierte Elektron-Ion-Stöße in starken Laserfeldern
… are treated both in the context of classical Newtonian mechanics and in the quantum-mechanical framework by the Schrödinger equation. In the classical case a simplified instantaneous collision model and a complete dynamical treatment are discussed. Collisions can be treated instantaneously, if …

Modelling dry granular flows over topography
… governed by the simple and well-known laws of Newtonian mechanics, but how do these 'microscopic' particle-level laws translate into the 'macroscopic' collective motion of thousands or millions of grains, which flow like a liquid? Various rheological models of granular flows have been developed …

Reframing Strategic Inertia: The Politics of Innovation and the Case of GM Biotechnology
… of three past conceptual frameworks: namely, Newtonian mechanics, Hobbesian interpretations of evolution, and Clausewitzian military theory. A genealogical approach is used to reveal the persistent influence of the Newtonian notion of simultaneity (absolute time and absolute space) across …

On the motion of a symmetric rigid body with a "yo-yo" despin device attached
… manner using the vectorial methods of Newtonian mechanics. The Euler equations for a rigid body are used to describe the motion of the rigid body itself. The moment acting on the body through the tension in the yo-yo cables is unknown and it is necessary to apply the second law of …
