"ME TIRÉ POR VOS" A PHYSICAL ANALYSIS OF CHARLY GARCÍA’S JUMP

Abstract

In the present work, the famous jump of Charly García is studied, thus proposing to contextualize a situation of a public nature in the field of physics. Video analysis was used, which allowed to compare classical kinematics models with experimental data from the fall, thereby determining the artist’s position and speed while moving in the air. The movement in the water was subsequently analyzed, obtaining different possibilities according to the variations of the parameters under study. This proposal reaffirms the use of this type of problem as a successful and highly versatile pedagogical tool for use in the classroom.
