Concept Checker for Inclined Plane Simulation
Our Concept Checker for the Inclined Plane Simulation consists of 32 questions organized into 8 Question Groups. Students must correctly answer one question from each Question Group to
earn the Trophy for this Concept Checker.
Like all our Concept Checkers, it is designed to be used as a follow-up to the use of the
Inclined Plane Simulation. We recommend the use of our
classroom-ready exercise with the simulation.
The Concept Checker targets student understanding of the following learning outcomes:
- The student should be able to describe the effects that variations in the angle of an incline, the coefficients of friction, an the mass of the object have upon an object's acceleration.
- The student be able to describe the direction of the forces acting upon the object and be able to relate their relative magnitude to the tendency of the object to remain at rest or acceleration along the inclined plane.
