I use the quiz in this post: https://jacobsphysics.blogspot.com/2011/10/gravity-fundamentals-quiz.html<br /><br />I’m grading 2019 AP1#2 right now, and I’m seeing every possible misstatement about the meaning of g. I don’t think bullwhips are allowed in schools anymore, right?Greg Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121422726610824760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088860151651047897.post-66454188228185612522019-06-07T19:51:45.016-04:002019-06-07T19:51:45.016-04:00This distinction about what "g" stands f...This distinction about what "g" stands for is something I always struggle to get students to be consistent about. They all just want to call it gravity, or even worse, FORCE of gravity! Despite continuous corrections and class discussions to the contrary. Any suggestions on how you get students to be consistent?
