Recognizing Forces

The Recognizing Forces Concept Builder is a tool that challenges the learner to identify the types of forces that act upon an object in any given situation. Learners are presented with a description of a physical situation and must identify which forces act upon the object that is described in the situation. There are 10 different situations to analyze and three ability levels. Each situation requires that the learner understand the nature of the various force types. Question-specific help is provided for each of the 10 situations.
