Predict an Electric-Force Ratio

Use a relative inverse-square model without building or handling electrical devices.

▷ 2 teacher video choices: Predict an Electric-Force Ratio
Preview lesson: Predict an Electric-Force Ratio

Goal: Calculate three force ratios and explain both magnitude and direction under a point-charge model.

Before this: Use squares, ratios and signs.

Try together: Together find the ratio when both charge magnitudes double at the original distance.

Reduce Force by Changing Stopping Time

Evaluate fictional cargo-protection data with impulse reasoning and design constraints.

▷ 2 teacher video choices: Reduce Force by Changing Stopping Time
Preview lesson: Reduce Force by Changing Stopping Time

Goal: Recommend and refine a model packaging design using stopping time, average force and space constraints.

Before this: Understand momentum and divide by a time interval.

Try together: Together explain why a design that rebounds could have a different momentum change even with the same incoming speed.
