ROBLES G., S.; VILLA M., H.; ALVAREZ R., E.  and  MORALES F., I.. Método alternativo para evaluar la velocidad instantánea en un laboratorio de docencia, mediante el uso de nuevas tecnologías. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2003, vol.49, n.6, pp.565-571. ISSN 0035-001X.

In these days, new technological tools are driving changes in most of the disciplines forcing a revision in the traditional processes of teaching and learning and experimental physics is not out of this trend. In this work, we are reporting a computational tool to measure the instant speed allowing us to develop a set of experiments about kinematic in one and two dimensions, about dynamic and about mechanical energy. The program has been tested with positive results during the last two academic periods in the classical mechanics courses we taught and represents one of the main results in the revision of the experimental guide for the laboratory of the classical mechanics courses of the Physics Department at Universidad de Sonora.
