Abstract:
Amazing technological advancement has been made in the aria of communications. Modern communication technology has brought about an evolution in the access to knowledge, in globalization and also in the new ways of shaping education. Therefore, this period, called Knowledge Age or Information Age, opens up new possibilities in the field of formal and informal education, in the ways of delivering education, either in class or online, and also in the role of the teacher. Smartphones, due to their high speed internet access capabilities, large storage capacities, embedded multi-functional sensors, and integrated modern smart applications, are in fact mobile computers that can be integrated into learning environments. This article presents two physics experiments performed using smartphones, experiments that are meaningful because they relate reality to physics laws, creating theory-practice linkage, and that can be performed outside the classic physics laboratory. The cost-free application employed is called Phyphox. Following the experiments described in this paper, acceleration of a non-inertial frame of reference was calculated, respectively, Malus law was verified. Students were able to follow the real-time obtained graphs just by accessing a link (URL).
