What this quiz should check

Topic: Newton's second law and net force (HS-PS2-1). A good Physics quiz on this asks students to:

• Draw free-body diagrams and find the net force on an object
• Use F = ma to find force, mass or acceleration with correct units
• Explain Newton's first and third laws with everyday examples
• Use motion data to support the claim that a net force causes acceleration

Misconceptions worth a question

• Thinking an object needs a net force to keep moving at a constant velocity
• Thinking action-reaction forces cancel out, when they act on different objects
• Mixing up mass and weight

Teacher tip: Pair each calculation with a "which free-body diagram matches?" question so students connect the math to the forces.

Always check the AI's answer key before you give the quiz to students.
