DIDACTIC POSSIBILITIES OF USE OF THE VISCOUS-ELASTIC BODY SIMULATION IN PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY.

The article discusses the didactic possibilities of body motion modeling by replacing it with the particles system connected by weightless viscouselastic rods. It is shown that such computer models allow: 1) to study translational, rotational motion, bodies deformation, precession of gyroscope, etc., to actualize the knowledge of the corresponding concepts and laws of mechanics; 2) to intensify the educational and cognitive students’ activity, to increase their motivation for learning; 3) to master the computer modeling method, to explain the algorithms used and the simulation results; 4) to develop physical and algorithmic thinking, the ability of the coordinate method application, to carry out mathematical processing of information; 5) to implement an interactive dialogue between the student and the computer program; 6) to visualize information about the state of the object, to build motion graphics; 7) to create various animations of the body motion and deformation; 8) to create problem situations that require editing a computer program; 9) to deepen interdisciplinary connections between mathematics, physics and computer science.
