Curated OER
Drill: Mechanics
In this mechanics worksheet, high schoolers solve 8 problems including finding the formulas to determine the forces on an incline plane, determining the formula for Newton's second law and finding equations relating the tension on...
Physics LAB
Net F=ma
For this force worksheet, students use the equation, F=ma to solve 7 problems where the force changes, the mass changes or the acceleration changes. Students explain their answer for each problem.
Physics LAB
Free Body Diagrams #2
In this free body diagram worksheet, students solve 14 problems using given free body diagrams. They determine the magnitude and numerical value of the normal force, they find the magnitude of the frictional forces, they determine the...
Physics LAB
Freebody Diagrams #3
In this freebody diagram worksheet, students solve 10 problems including matching proper equations to the diagrams, finding weights of objects, determining when the normal equals the object's weight and matching the proper expression for...
Curated OER
Cool Cars
Students travel one at a time in a straight-line path and attempt to maintain a constant velocity. While one student walks, jogs, or runs, the other group members time the "runner" while standing at five-meter intervals along the path....
Curated OER
Activity One Teacher Page: Vehicles In Motion
Students identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.
Curated OER
Practice Problems for the Net Force Particle Model
In this forces worksheet, students practice writing net force equations and solving for acceleration and distance objects travel in different situations. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Investigating Force, Acceleration and Velocity
In this Investigating force, acceleration and velocity worksheet, students read story problems involving constant velocity and acceleration, create a diagram of the problem, and consider the forces acting upon the item discussed. They...
Curated OER
Calculating Range for a Constant Velocity
Students read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...
