Balanced vs. Unbalanced Forces
The Balanced vs. Unbalanced Forces Concept Builder is a tool that allows the learner to relate kinematic information regarding the motion of an object to the relative strength of the forces acting upon the object. There are 12 different situations to analyze and three ability levels. Each situation involves two questions: Is the object speeding up, slowing down, or constant speed motion? and Are the forces balanced or unbalanced? Question-specific help is provided for each of the 12 situations. The built-in score-keeping makes this Concept Builder a perfect candidate for a classroom activity.
Users are encouraged to open the Concept Builder and explore. There is no need for an activity sheet for this Concept Builder. However, the 12 different groups of questions can be printed. View
