The Effect of Group Work on Misconceptions of 9th Grade Students about Newton’s Laws
Type: Empirical
Data collection method: Test
Number of subjects, range: Large — 31 or more
Grade and age of subjects: 9th-12 grade — 15-18 years
- If there is no force, there is no motion.
- Constant velocity requires a constant force.
- The force which starts the motion continues to affect the motion.
- Action and reaction forces cancel each other out.
- The heavier object exerts a greater force.
- The object which has a higher velocity exerts a greater force.
- Velocity is directly proportional to the exerted force.
