Physics paper uses theme park rides and smartphones to teach Newtonian mechanics
Original: Using Theme park rides and smartphones for demonstrating Newtonian mechanics https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/
A new paper in a physics education journal describes how theme park rides and smartphones can be used to demonstrate Newtonian mechanics. By using sensors built into phones, such as accelerometers, students can measure the forces they experience on rides and connect classroom physics to real-world motion.
Why now: The creative, accessible teaching approach is catching attention among physics educators and enthusiasts.
