Description
What your body feels in swings, carousels or rollercoasters is related to the forces required to change motion. These forces can be visualized with small toys or be measured by a smartphone accelerometer, giving data that can be analysed in the physics classroom. The embodied experiences, as well as accelerometer data, depend on the equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass, which often leads to surprising consequences, that can deepen the understanding of Newton's laws. The poster will present a number of visual examples of experiments, demonstrations and analyses that challenge incomplete understanding.
