Description
Are your students struggling to solve force physics problems when mass or acceleration are unknown, in other words when f doesn’t equal m x a (force = mass x acceleration)? This worksheet tasks students with applying their understanding of variables to solve 24 worded questions with unknown variables, move over f = ma, try a = f/m and m = f/a! This resource gives students a lot of practice with identifying the relationships between the variables of force, mass and acceleration so they approach automaticity with unknowns when studying Newton’s Second Law of Motion!

✂ Contents
+ Double-sided worksheet for solving problems with Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion (f = m x a) when there are unknown variables, f, m or a
+ 1 teacher answer key
+ Suitable for British and American English schools
✂ Teacher Preparation Instructions
Simply print off as many copies as necessary! Students should have some understanding of how to substitute numbers into a given formula. You could deliver the first few questions as a class, though the work is pretty self-explanatory for students and once they get started, they’ll be set to work independently.
✂ Suggestions for Use in the Classroom
This worksheet could be used after your introduction to Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion (f = m x a) or as independent study/homework/classwork. Great worksheet for a substitute teacher too.
