Davidovic, Milena D.; Markovic-Topalovic, Tatjana; Sliško, Josip; Božic, Mirjana – Physics Teacher, 2020
In the same chapter of his book "Opera Geometrica," Torricelli published two discoveries: 1) initial velocity of a jet from a container increases with the square root of the depth of the hole; 2) he drew the pattern of jets from three openings at the wall of a container filled with water to constant level "H" and determined the…

Körber, C.; Hammer, I.; Wynen, J.-L.; Heuer, J.; Müller, C.; Hanhart, C. – Physics Education, 2018
Numerical simulations are playing an increasingly important role in modern science. In this work it is suggested to use a numerical study of the famous perihelion motion of the planet Mercury (one of the prime observables supporting Einsteins general relativity) as a test case to teach numerical simulations to high school students. The paper…
