Classical Point

A two-dimensional annular billiard consisting of a region confined within two concentric circumferences, the outer of radius R and the inner of radius r, is considered. The escape time of a point particle projected at a given angle within this billiard is numerically evaluated in terms of the size of the opening in the billiard. The problem is solved by means of classical mechanics and can be of interest for advanced high school physics students or undergraduate college physics students

Insight Into

Several physics instructors at Central Michigan University have utilized Computer-Assisted Personalized Approach (CAPA) for homework in their courses.  Student activity on CAPA is automatically recorded and logged into the system’s files.  These log files have been examined and student surveys have been conducted.  An analysis of this data provides some insight into when students do homework and how this behavior relates to performance and demographic factors.
