Abstract
A didactic alternative for analyzing movements in one and two dimensions like constant acelerated movement and
parabolic movement is presented in this work. The porpose include simple experiments and the use of DivYX
software. The experiments were designed in such a way they do not need expensive equipment and can be
performered in a short time even in a classroom. The DivYX software implementation allows to spend more time in
the analysis and interpretation of experimental data in a single sesion. Finally, the advantages of DivYX and the
simple experiments proposed respect to those usually employed are shown.
