About this resource

This quiz comprehensively covers forces and Newton's laws of motion at the AP Physics 1 level, appropriate for grades 11-12. The questions assess fundamental concepts including force analysis on inclined planes, Newton's three laws of motion, free body diagrams, friction coefficients, tension in multi-body systems, and apparent weight in accelerating reference frames. Students need a solid understanding of vector decomposition, equilibrium conditions, and the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The problems require students to analyze complex scenarios involving static and kinetic friction, pulley systems, and motion at constant velocity versus accelerated motion. Critical thinking skills are essential as students must distinguish between motion and acceleration, understand action-reaction pairs, and apply mathematical relationships like F=ma and friction calculations using coefficient values. Created by Jane Siebert, a Physics teacher in US who teaches grade 11-12. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, from diagnostic evaluation at the unit's beginning to summative assessment of student mastery. The quiz works exceptionally well as a review tool before AP exams, allowing students to practice the analytical thinking required for college-level physics problems. Teachers can deploy individual questions as warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge or use the complete set for homework assignments that reinforce classroom instruction. The variety of question types makes this ideal for formative assessment, helping identify specific misconceptions about force interactions and Newton's laws. This assessment aligns with Next Generation Science Standards HS-PS2-1 (analyzing data to support claims about forces during collisions) and AP Physics 1 Learning Objectives 3.A.1 through 3.A.4, which focus on applying Newton's laws to predict and explain motion in various physical situations.
