Fg = G[(m1 m2)/r2] / Dance and Physics
Bára Látalová a kol.
Movement back and forth in the gravitational field.
A family dance performance inspired by the laws o physics. A piece named after the well-known Newton law of universal gravitation.
Fg = G x (m1 x m2)
r2
I recently opened my old physics exercise book and read in it: “An induction coil is an induction coil and there is nothing that can be done about it. Even the radio would not work if it weren’t for induction coils.” I do not remember anything from the subject, unfortunately, only the fact that I am fascinated by terminology that can describe every moment around us and make it into a law. To many, physics remains a subject that is abstract and difficult to grasp. Equally so, to many viewers dance may difficult to grasp and very abstract too. I am asking then: might dance be defined as a simple movement here and there in the gravitational field? The performance is intended for all age groups without an exception.
Explanatory
Fg = a force functioning between two material entities
m1 = the weight of the first entity
m2 = the weight of the second entity
r = the distance between entities
G = gravitational constant, approx. G = 6.67 × 10－11m2 kg-2
The interactive workshops for children in schools are also part of the project. Their aim is to enrich the school education and to achieve the understanding of the law of physics by the means of dance and movement.
