..., was the generation of heat from friction. The reason was a missing link between heat and work. Sadi Carnot first related heat to work, but the quantification of the relationship was provided by Julius Robert Mayer and James Prescott Joule. Mayer suggested (based on a re-analysis of existing data) that the fall...

... results consistently, even with minimal input from another human. The second prominent tool is the contrived real-world apparatus. This contrived real world involves idealized apparatus that mimics the idealized world of textbooks. For instance, friction is minimized through the use of air tracks or carts...

..., transmit pressure changes, to the idea of friction between balls. Finally, the same authors note that in a pedagogical approach to hydrostatics, the discrete and ordered nature of the elements that make up the mesoscopic model can be rather less misleading than the belief in incompressibility...

..., as well as elements derived from them, such as kinematic and momentum elements, can easily be calculated using the appropriate data collection hardware and processing software. An example, according to our literature review, is the calculation of the value of a force (e.g., friction and weight), which can...

... stress, humidity, and damping effects. In the next few paragraphs, we will briefly describe these major failure mechanisms. Stiction The term stiction comes from “static friction,” and mainly occurs between two surfaces when they are in very close proximity (typically a few microns apart; see Fig. 5.5...

... be charged by friction, and non-metals can. This observation, however, led students to predict in the next lesson that a piece of metal will not be attracted by a charged object, and the resolution of this problem took two more classes. Hammer (1997) described and analyzed what he called the discovery...

... dramatic consequences. The “traditional” physics curriculum that consists of Newtonian mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics and optics/waves, usually focuses on ideal systems: surfaces with negligible friction in mechanics, pure conductors in electricity, or ideal gases in thermodynamics...

... abstract concepts, such as frictional force, into perceptual representations by employing augmented features in the second study facilitated students' understanding. An issue that is coming up from studies comparing VL with PL alone is which affordances are more appropriate for a given experiment...

...) examined how students used an AR tool to playfully enact how a virtual object would respond to forces such as friction and pushes perpendicular to the motion. The students incorporated various symbols to represent the forces, some of which were more mathematically formal (e.g., arrows showing a push...

... situational knowledge about blocks on ramps, such as knowing that a rough surface implies a frictional force and that the normal force is directed perpendicularly to the angled surface of the ramp. Procedural knowledge includes actions that solvers can take to move toward the goal state. Generally, procedural...

... to misconceptions for teachers and students. Accurate definitions in textbooks can prevent such misconceptions or learning misdirection ( Galili and Lehavi, 2006 ). A study by Develi and Namdar (2019) looked at the definitions of friction force in 26 Turkish physics and science textbooks and found several...

....”) For example, to probe students' thinking about friction in a clinical interview, Corpuz and Rebello asked students to feel both smooth and rough surfaces and sketch them at increasingly small length scales. In the teaching interview, by contrast, students were deliberately asked to sketch...

For example, a substance is pushable, frictional, additive, locational, containable… ( Reiner et al., 2000 ). The schema...

Energy and heat concepts are incorporated into damped oscillations and air resistance or surface friction. Knowledge and understanding of the apparent Sun motion is assessed through shadow...

... be seen as two sides of a coin ( Galili, 2018 ). Idealization means that in the description of a physical process, parameters are neglected, which have only a small or minor influence on the process. A common example is friction in a motion or the assumption of point-like particles in an ideal gas...
