Problemática do uso de diagramas de corpo livre na solução de problemas de mecânica dos alunos de ensino médio e ensino superior

Abstract

Physics is a science that utilizes mathematics to describe natural phenomena with their respective simplifications, involving elaborate concepts. To solve problems, scientists aim to construct models that correlate the variables associated with these phenomena. In addressing problems in Newtonian mechanics, we employ a tool known as the free-body diagram, which is a scientific representation (diagram) designed to depict the vectors of forces acting on an object. Through the use of vectors, representations, and mathematical analysis, we seek to assess students' understanding of constructing free-body diagrams in solving problems in Newtonian mechanics through questionnaires.
