Abstract

The transformation of Technology and Information today is very fast. This progress makes it easy to be able to make a media. The concepts of physics that are known to be very abstract and difficult can be easily understood by providing a visual representation using a smartphone so that it can be learned anywhere and anytime. The research aims to design a media to make it easier to understand the concept of equilibrium of rigid bodies. The research method used is descriptive analysis method with observation techniques. The results of this study are in the form of media containing material, videos, simulations, examples of problem solving, and evaluations that are designed in such a way as to attract users in understanding the concept of equilibrium of rigid bodies. Based on this, students can explore knowledge broadly with the app offered, not just reading. Facilitating the teacher in facilitating learning is also the result of an easy evaluation.
