Direct linkPastore, A.; Romero, A. M.; Diget, C.; Rios, A.; Leech, K.; Stokoe, P. – Physics Education, 2021
We present a simple activity based on the liquid-drop model which allows secondary school students to explore the uses of mathematical models and gain an intuitive understanding of the concept of binding energy, and in particular the significance of positive binding energy. Using spreadsheets provided as supplementary material, students can…

Robinson, A. W.; Patrick, C. G. – Physics Education, 2008
We present a case study of the physical principles necessary to model the high altitude parachute jump made by Colonel Joseph Kittinger, USAF, in 1960, in order to determine the maximum speed attained and to calculate whether this speed was sufficient to exceed the speed of sound at that altitude. There is considerable discrepancy in the value of…

Peer reviewedGuisasola, J.; Barragues, J. I.; Valdes, P.; Pedroso, F. – Physics Education, 1999
Describes changes in scientific research methods that have been brought about by the use of computers. Presents an example of the falling of a body in a fluid to show students how computers can be used to experiment with mathematical models and to automate experiments. Contains 11 references.
