Anno L - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2017 Il pendolo fisico: teoria, simulazione, esperimento
We propose a new tool for laboratory curricula based on computer-aided data acquisition and analysis. A pendulum coupled to a low-friction rotary sensor offers variable length, variable mass, and two different kind of damping torque: “dynamic friction” (almost constant) and “viscous” friction proportional to the angular velocity. […]
Anno XXV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1992 Il pendolo… in acqua
Following the pupils’ suggestions and curiosity it is sometimes possible to remove some of their preconceptions. […]
Anno XLIX - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2016 Il pendolo semplice
You can measure both the period and the amplitude of a simple pendulum “on the fly”, i.e. while it is swinging and slowing down. This was implemented years ago using a photogate connected to the serial port of a personal computer (which made the time measurements). […]
Anno XLIV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2011 Il problema dei ciclisti inzaccherati
A 2010 note by L.J.F. Hermans in Europhysics News suggests a highschool-level problem-solving activity. […]
Anno XLII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2009 Il problema dei cilindri di Senigallia 2008: approfondimenti e curiosità
An alternative solution to the first problem of the Italian national competition for the Physics Olympiads, based on the ‘Equivalence Principle’, is presented as a useful test-bench for all students. Some other questions about the same physical system, suitable for more skilful pupils, […]
