Key terms covered include resultant force, apparent weight, and acceleration.
The paper consists of 12 pages plus two data sheets, and has seven questions. Question 1 is multiple choice on forces and apparent weight.
By the end of this paper, learners should be able to calculate the magnitude of forces from a given resultant, and explain how apparent weight changes for an object in an accelerating lift.
