- Abstract
This article identifies the conceptual metaphors present in the modeling processes associated with the mathematical object "vector" when a group of engineering students solve tasks of relative velocity. The interest on this originated after identifying that the object "vector" articulates physical quantities such as velocity and force. This object also has mathematical properties and provides a field for representations that supports their interpretations. The present study was based on a qualitative methodology of interpretative and descriptive nature that used as units of analysis the answers provided by students in the following manners: verbal, in gestures, written, or on a computer. It was observed that the correct management of algebra's basic operations supports the resolution of physical problems. But, the proper interpretation of the phenomena involved requires modeling supported on the "reference system" and requires the use of metaphors that link the phenomenon of movement with physical and mathematical properties.
