Peer reviewedPerez, Pedro J.; And Others – Physics Education, 1996
Describes a technique that measures the deformation produced in a plastic material by a falling ball in order to compute the ball's kinetic energy. Varying the parameters produces accurate results and gives students a good understanding of the measurement of energy. Combines various mechanical concepts that students have learned separately in…

Peer reviewedAguilella, Vicente; Aguilella-Arzo, Marcelo – Physics Education, 1996
Analyzes physical features of breath-hold diving. Considers the diver's descent and the initial surface dive and presents examples that show the diver's buoyancy equilibrium varying with depth, the driving force supplied by finning, and the effect of friction between the water and the diver.
