Florian, Gabriel; Florian, Aurelia-Daniela; Pufu, Nicolae – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2015
This paper proposes an optional syllabus for the students in the XIIth grade. The proposed theme analyzes the concept of "variable mass" both in terms of classical mechanics and relativistic mechanics. In terms of classical mechanics we refer to the slow motion of a body, whose mass ranges in ascending way (by annealing a mass particle…
