In summary, the student is looking for practice questions about Newton's 2nd Law and Newton's 3rd law for their physics class that follows a standards-based grading system. The student mentions specific standards they need to practice and asks for recommendations on where to find suitable practice questions. The responder suggests looking at the government's education website and mentions that any problems related to Newton's laws can be used for practice.

Homework Statement


Hey guys, i have a kind of unusual question. My physics class does something called standards based grading where we have to isolate specific physics skills and practice them, and then we are tested on them. Does anyone know where i can find practice questions about Newton's 2nd Law and Newton's third law?


Homework Equations


The actual standards are:
3.4B- Solve problems using Newton's 2nd Law
3.5B- Apply Newton's Third Law to situations involving interacting objects

These are basically the things i need to be able to do

Sounds like the New Zealand system.
If it is anything like NZ, your country will supply study materials - probably attached to your government's Education department/ministry/directorate/committee/whatever website.

However - pretty much anybodies Newton's law problems will be good enough for your study.
Just do lots of examples.
 

1. How should I approach studying for a physics assessment?

The best way to study for a physics assessment is by first reviewing your notes and textbook material. Then, practice solving problems and apply the concepts you have learned. You can also use online resources, such as practice quizzes and video tutorials, to help you understand the material better.

2. How much time should I allocate for studying?

The amount of time you should spend studying for a physics assessment will vary depending on your individual learning style and the difficulty of the material. However, a good rule of thumb is to allocate at least 2-3 hours per week leading up to the assessment.

3. Is it better to study alone or in a group?

This ultimately depends on your personal preference. Some students find it helpful to study in a group, as they can discuss and explain concepts to each other. Others prefer to study alone, as it allows them to focus and work at their own pace. You can try both methods and see which one works best for you.

4. What should I do if I am struggling with a particular topic?

If you are having trouble understanding a specific topic, it is important to seek help from your teacher or a tutor. You can also review the material again and try solving more practice problems to reinforce your understanding. Additionally, there are many online resources available, such as educational websites and forums, that can provide additional explanations and examples.

5. How can I prepare for the format of the assessment?

To prepare for the format of the assessment, it is important to familiarize yourself with the types of questions that will be asked. Look at past assessments or practice tests to get an idea of the format and types of questions. You can also ask your teacher for guidance and clarification on the format. Additionally, make sure to read the instructions carefully and manage your time effectively during the assessment.
