Desenvolvimento de um simulador computacional para o estudo de queda livre

Resumo

This work presents the development of an interactive free fall simulator as
a pedagogical tool aimed at teaching physics, with applicability both in teaching
higher education and basic education. Physics, due to its conceptual complexity, brings
learning challenges, especially in the Brazilian educational context, where methods
Traditional technologies often lack practical resources.To mitigate these difficulties,
This study's main objective is to develop a free fall simulator that
function as a pedagogical tool for teaching physics, allowing students
observe and analyze the generation of position, time and speed data, sufficient to
estimate the acceleration of gravity. This tool seeks not only to elucidate concepts
fundamental physics, such as free fall and uniformly varied motion, but
also provide practical experience that complements traditional teaching.You
research results indicate that the use of Learning Objects, such as the simulator
free fall, is a valuable tool in physics teaching, providing students with a
practical way to specifically explore and understand abstract concepts without the
need for complex laboratory environments. Thus, this study reinforces that the
The use of OAs promotes more inclusive education adjusted to the needs of students
students, highlighting the potential of educational technologies to transform the
teaching-learning process.
