Abstract:
Using interactive models using the computer should not be viewed as an attempt to replace actual physical experiments with virtual, for each situation must be analyzed limitations and advantages of each of experimentation in training students in the skills specific to the field. This paper will focus on the use of digital technologies in teaching and learning physics at university level and pre-university level. This theme is favored by wide accessibility of personal computers (PC) and Internet performance. Nowadays computers can perform complex calculations in real time, have the opportunity to present data in a graphical form attractive and effective. This paper presents the ways in which we can use the capabilities of Interactive Physics software for creating interactive virtual experiments and computer to support in-depth understanding of the major problems in the study of elastic pendulum. Interactive Physics includes a collection of simulations that have been created for physics instructors to assist them in teaching various physics concepts. Interactive Physics allows you to model, simulate, and explore a wide variety of physical phenomena, and create nearly any experiment imaginable. These simulations have been grouped into categories that represent various physics topics taught to students.
