Modeling Instruction Program: Inertia Worksheet 1-Sketching Forces

Detail Page «

Website Detail Page

written by Larry Dukerich and Jane Jackson

This item is a worksheet/assessment on inertia for students of introductory physics. It contains 18 drawings of a block-like object. The object is depicted both at rest and in various types of motion. Differing forces are applied to the block, and students are asked to sketch all the forces acting on the object, as well as the appropriate vector arrows. It was designed to measure student understanding of the basic fundamentals of Newton's First Law.

This assessment was developed to accompany a related educator's guide for teaching a unit on the topic of Newton's First and Third Laws. SEE RELATED ITEMS on this page for a link to the educator's guide.

This item is part of a larger collection of resources and pedagogic materials developed by the Modeling Instruction project at Arizona State University.

This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.

Topic: Dynamics: Forces and Motion
Unit Title: Newton's First Law & Inertia

This worksheet accompanies the Modeling Instruction unit on Inertia and Interactions (see Content Support above). It shows 18 drawings of a block-like object, which experiences various types of motion or remains at rest. Students must sketch all forces acting on the block in each scenario. Assesses understanding of the basic fundamentals of Newton's First Law and the ability of the student to draw force diagrams.
