In this paper, the dynamic case of a system made up of two blocks connected by a string over a smooth pulley is revisited. One mass lies on a horizontal surface without friction, and the other mass has a vertical displacement. The motion equation is obtained and its solution is determined using the "Mathematica" package. Also an…

With the advancement of digital technology, the roles of teachers and students are slowly changing. The classroom is on the verge of becoming a new, more open place, one with fewer barriers to the rest of society. Our purpose in this paper is to discuss how the creation of videos with mathematical content may contribute to this process of…
