Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references
Before you begin
Read or listen to the model and identify what the task asks before responding.
How to use this worksheet
- Find the signed net force in newtons.
- If both forces double with the same mass, what is the new acceleration?
- Does acceleration direction alone establish the current velocity direction?
A common mistake to discuss
No. An object can move left while accelerating right and slowing down.
What to practice next
Create a different example that preserves the learning goal, and explain how you would check it.
