Self-learning module on particle kinematics: Projectile Firing.

Abstract

This report presents a tool developed with the porpose of facilitating the comprehension of concepts linked with “Projectile Shot”. Said topic is fundamental for engineering students throughout their academic formation. With this objective in mind, the investigation and development project (PID, in Spanish) named “Integration of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematic contents: Development of Basic Competence in Engineering, Taxonomic Methods and Transversality” has created a specific learning module, backed by didactic material. This module is designed to serve as a permanent enquiry source for students. It includes a simulator accompanied by explicative documentation that is foreseen to share, mainly, in the Physics I and University’s Admission’s virtual campuses. Teachers have begun to value this material, given it shows great potential by demonstrating its capacity to help students comprehend the discussed topics in an effective way.
