La construcción histórica del concepto de fuerza centrípeta en relación con las dificultades de su aprendizaje

Resum

The conceptual errors which appear in the process of learning, keep some parallellism with the historical process of the building of science. As it might be helpful from a didactic point of view, we try to go through the main historical periods which led to the consolidation of the concept of centripetal force, also emphasizing the context in which it developed.
