This page contains an alternative homework problem related to the physics of tailgating. Students are prompted to make calculations about stopping distance in a vehicle traveling at high speed behind another car. The problem is designed to allow students to independently explore inertia in motion and the relationship between mass and inertia.
This item is part of a larger collection of alternative problems based on physics education research. SEE RELATED ITEMS BELOW for a link to the full collection.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Dynamics: Forces and Motion
Unit Title: Newton's First Law & Inertia An assessment to help teachers determine whether students understand the relationship between mass and inertia. This alternative homework problem, based on physics education research, presents students with a real-life situation about highway stopping distance and the related physics. Link to Unit:
