abstract

Currently, the benefits of using computer simulations in the school environment are widely recognized by educators. The encouragement to use these simulations in classrooms is supported by the National Common Curricular Base, a normative document that defines essential learning for basic education. This article focuses on the exploration of the Mechanical Energy Conservation simulator, a free simulator developed with the purpose of illustrating the transformations between kinetic, gravitational potential, and elastic potential energies. This application is part of SimuF\'isica\textsuperscript{\textregistered}, a multilingual and multiplatform software that offers computer simulations for teaching physics, which operates both online and offline. Throughout the article, some features of the SimuF\'isic\textsuperscript{\textregistered} platform and the details of how the Mechanical Energy Conservation simulator works are objectively presented. Two illustrative examples are provided, demonstrating the application in action for solving mechanics problems.

  • Exploring Heat Exchanges with the Calorimetry Simulator -- SimuF\'isica physics.ed-ph · 2025-06-03 · conditional · none · ref 4 · internal anchor

    The Calorimetry SimuFísica simulator reproduces textbook calorimetry calculations in two worked examples, but the paper's stated thermal equilibrium equations omit masses and are inconsistent with the reported results.
