Description
I drafted this user-friendly power and force calculation problem set for my middle school physical science students. This two-page activity offers eight problems that require dimensional analysis. Students solve for power three times, force twice, time twice, and distance once. There is even a Nerf gun-themed problem!
I included two layout versions of the power equation in the worksheet for student reference. The directions instruct students to first convert Watts to N x m/s to help them set up a calculation that will allow the desired units to cancel out.
This listing includes a colored answer key that shows the full dimensional analysis solution for each problem. Each answer honors the multiplication and division rule for significant figures.
