DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ACQUISITION SYSTEM AND ANALYSIS OF DATA FOR THE TEACHING OF THE UNIDIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE LABORATORY

Abstract

The equipment and prototypes available in Colombia for the teaching of physics at the intermediate and higher level, are normally expensive, impossible to update and/or adapt to different needs and supported in languages other than Spanish among other limitations This is why a new system is designed and constructed that covers the basic needs of an experimental physics course, in contrast to the imported one, with hardware and free software easier to update and/or adapt to the specific needs of any course or teacher. As example, we show the results obtained with students of the Universidad del Valle (Tulu´a), in the experiment called “Mechanical Work Theorem” which was carried out, using the system described in this document.
