About
Misconception of Students
· Objects slow down in the presence of friction or air resistance.
Outcomes of the simulator
· Students can visualise how motion is affected when Fnet > friction, when Fnet = friction and when Fnet < friction, while the cart remains in motion.
· Students learn how to predict motion given the magnitude and direction of Fnet with relation to the direction of motion.

Sample Learning Goals
Simulation to address Misconception of Students
M1: Objects slow down in the presence of friction or air resistance.
Outcomes of the simulator
Solution1: Students can visualise how motion is affected when \(F_{net} \gt friction\), when \(F_{net} = friction\) and when \(F_{net} \lt friction\), while the cart remains in motion.
Solution2: Students learn how to predict motion given the magnitude and direction of \(F_{net}\) with relation to the direction of motion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrgKspCxN4E by ETDtogo explains why the simulation fan produces a (point to the right) forward force. In the YouTube video, the cart moves to the left because the exhaust gases from the fire extinguisher pushes to the right.
