Unit V: Worksheet 1 - Constant Force

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

In a force diagram, a stick figure man in an elevator takes a ride. Physics analysts work out the force exerted on him by the elevator floor. As the acceleration changes, they draw new force diagrams and compute new force values. This wonderful worksheet, like the stick figure man, it is simple and pertinent.
