ANALYSIS OF A TROLLEY MOVEMENT ON AN INCLINED PLANE USING WEBCAM ATTACHED TO RASPBERRY PI 3

Análise do movimento de um carrinho num plano inclinado usando uma Webcam acoplada a um Raspberry PI 3

Resumen

The work consisted of filming the movement of a trolley descending an inclined plane without friction, using the stop motion technique through a webcam controlled by a Raspbery Pi computer. The research was applied to eleven Physics students from a federal university in Brazil, aiming to provide new teaching alternatives in basic education. The experiment was presented online, due to the sanitary restrictions of the pandemic by COVID-19, and consisted of exposing the themes necessary for understanding the activity, demonstrating the experiment, and applying a questionnaire. The results obtained in the questionnaire indicated the feasibility of using this teaching method and the verification of evidence of learning about what was explained. The activity carried out favored the investigation and modeling of the observed phenomenon.
