Concept Checker for Uniform Circular Motion Simulation
Our Concept Checker for the Uniform Circular Motion simulation consists of 28 questions organized into 7 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
Uniform Circular Motion simulation. We recommend the use of the
accompanying classroom activity sheet with this simulation and Concept Checker.
The Concept Checker targets student understanding of the following learning outcomes:
- The student should be able to predict the effect of a force or force component upon the velocity components of an object's motion.
- The student be able to identify the direction of force that is required to cause an object to turn away from its otherwise straight-line path.
