Gravity, omnipresent in our everyday lives, remains a complex subject to grasp in its entirety. While Newton's portrayal of gravity as a force influencing all matter is widely recognized, it inevitably sparks a multitude of questions. In this article, we outline seven experiments that can be conducted using just a smartphone to delve deeper into the realm of gravity. From embarking on a Zero G flight to exploring the behavior of a pendulum on the moon, venturing to the equat

Did you know that your smartphone can contain up to 18 different types of sensors? In this article we review them and explain what they can be used for! Table of content The different categories of sensors What is MEMS technology? The accelerometer - The gyroscope - The orientation sensor - The pedometer The thermometer - The barometer - The humidity sensor The Magnetometer - The GPS - The Lidar The photoelectric cell - The CMOS sensor - The heart rate sensor T

In this article, we propose five activities in the field of mathematics to be carried out with your smartphone. They can be offered to...

Making and analyzing a motion analysis (or kinematic) video with your students is a great way to engage them. To avoid wasting too much...

The movement of athletes is one of the most interesting subjects of kinematic study. The precision of gestures, the transformation of energies, the complexity of trajectories are all exciting subjects to study for the student, in a field that is generally familiar to him. In this post, we analyze the most complex discipline of athletics: pole jumping. This movement is interesting because it makes it possible to study the multiple transformations of energy: kinetic energy of t

What are the latest innovations embedded in FizziQ 'Blue' ?

In this blog, we will study the acoustic phenomenon of rhythmic pulses. This effect is very easy to create with the FizziQ application...

Many applications allow you to calculate the heart rate using only the camera of a smartphone. On what principles are these applications based? Can we use FizziQ to perform the same measurements? What is the limit of this technology? 1. What is photoplethysmography ? The physiological phenomenon on which these applications are based was first demonstrated in 1937 by Hertzman and Spealman (5). These two scientists found that they could use a photoelectric cell to measure varia
