Short video projects on physics education
Público DepositedIn our interactive qualifying project (IQP), our goal was to create short videos that were designed for physics education. These videos will help people understand general physics in a fun and interactive way. They are meant for any students who do not have the resources needed to learn about physics in a classroom. The videos can help them educate themselves on physics through the concepts in them. The videos were designed using research and the best practices to ensure student understanding, and correct physics concepts. Two short videos were made, which emphasized various concepts valued within an introductory physics course. The first video on the bench press focuses on the acceleration due to gravity, force vectors, as well as work done during the movement. A vector is a mathematical variable that has both magnitude and direction. Vectors are commonly used in physics and engineering to show a quantity that has these two characteristics, such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force. The second video details the back squat movement and focuses on the center of mass, kinetic and potential energy, and inertia. The goal of our project is to use these videos to teach various beginner level physics concepts to those who are interested in learning about these topics and how physics relates to good form in lifting.
