We designed a teaching–learning sequence on relative motion in classical mechanics, based on the model of educational reconstruction and on the fundamental design principle of highlighting those conceptual elements which could be valuable in the future ...

REVISITING PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OFUNCERTAINTY IN CLASSICAL PHYSICS
The article addresses the problem of uncertainty in classical thermodynamics and mechanics. The relation of concepts of certainty and uncertainty is studied in detail, and they are considered opposites forming the basis of any system.

The Role of Visual Representation for High School Physics in Teaching of Classical Mechanics
This study aims to highlight the importance of visual representation skills in classroom practice, especially in classical mechanics physics, by discussing (1) free-body diagram representation, (2) resultant force system, (3) types and directions of ...

Development of quantum perspectives in modern physics [PDF]
Introductory undergraduate courses in classical physics stress a perspective that can be characterized as realist; from this perspective, all physical properties of a classical system can be simultaneously specified and thus determined at all future ...

Splits in students’ beliefs about learning classical and quantum physics
Background While there has been increasing recognition of the importance of attending to students’ views about what counts as knowing and learning a STEM field, surveys that measure these “epistemological” beliefs are often used in ways that implicitly ...

Chirality through classical physics [PDF]
Abstract Chirality, or handedness, is a topic that is common in biology and chemistry, yet is rarely discussed in physics courses. We provide a way of introducing the topic in classical physics, and demonstrate the merits of its inclusion—such as a simple way to visually introduce the concept of symmetries in physical law—along with ...

Entropy Considerations in Stochastic Electrodynamics
The use of entropy concepts in the field of stochastic electrodynamics is briefly reviewed here. Entropy calculations that have been fully carried out to date are discussed in two main cases: first, where electric dipole oscillators interact with zero ...

Thermodynamic Operations and Entropy Considerations for a Ring-of-Charge Oscillator System
A ring of classical charge with a charged point particle oscillating within is first analyzed. The charged particle interacts with classical electromagnetic thermal radiation, which causes the particle to fluctuate, while the ring of charge imparts a ...

To the Problem of Discontinuous Solutions in Applied Mathematics
This paper addresses discontinuities in the solutions of mathematical physics that describe actual processes and are not observed in experiments. The appearance of discontinuities is associated in this paper with the classical differential calculus based

Focus on classical and quantum analogues for gravitational phenomena and related effects [PDF]
Hawking's prediction that black holes are not black but radiate has been one of the intellectually most influential results of theoretical physics, but Hawking's theory has not so far been testable. Recent developments in analogue models of gravity might
