Un problema planteado como actividad de investigación: estudio de las posibles trayectorias para el lanzamiento efectivo de un tiro libre de baloncesto

Resumen

Although students learn kinematics from their first contact with physics, for a series of reasons preconceptions and conceptual and methodological mistakes accumulate, hindering progress.

We propose a simple and motivating exercise that will not only improve the understanding of elementary equations of kinematics, but also detect and facilitate the correction of such mistakes.
