Mechanic is the branch of physics that is responsible for the study of the movement and balance of bodies in a system, within this can also be considered the bodies at rest. For the first case the scientist Isaac Newton considered the study of the movement of bodies, where he defines that any physical system which is subjected to different actions, as long as such actions are not nullified, will result in a change in the state of the body. The force is the magnitude that quantitatively measures the intensity, direction and direction of that interactions, having said that, if the summation of all forces of a system is different from zero, it can be concluded that the system will be in motion and therefore have an associated acceleration. Based on the above definition, was executed by the research group Design and Construction of Prototypes for Demonstration Experiments (DICOPED) in the design and construction of a prototype that allows to verify the Newton’s Second Law, looking to develop an autonomous, robust and low-cost prototype, that allows the use of the technology and tools present in the means, encourage and facilitate the teaching of basic concepts but no less important of physics to students of basic and higher education.
