DESCRIPTION:Abstract:The talk begins with an overview of the conceptual pr
 oblems of mechanics. Among these problems\, force and mass will be conside
 red. Where they came from and how to overcome them are the questions to be
  addressed in what follows. Regarding the first\, the data comes from the 
 study of historical texts\, in particular the way physicists articulated e
 xperiments and interpretations. We will see that Newton never wrote F=ma b
 ut force is interpreted according to Newton&#x27\;s first law of motion. T
 his articulation led to the most common definition of force\, which has re
 mained the same for more than two centuries. Regarding the question of how
  to overcome this problem\, an experiment that tests this concept will be 
 presented. If it is possible to test concepts experimentally\, we have a m
 ethod for dealing with conceptual problems
