Mechanics essentials flashcards

15 cards drawn from 9 lessons: 6 standard results, 2 definitions, 2 recall prompts, 2 check-yourself questions and 3 spot-the-error cards. Forces, friction, moments and the projectile split, ready to quote. Rate each answer to set a shorter or longer interval before the card is due again.

How the five kinds differ

Standard results ask for a formula or value that may need to be recalled. Definitions ask for a mathematical term to be stated precisely. Recall prompts ask for a rule, condition or method. Check yourself cards contain a short question and answer. Spot the error cards ask you to correct an inaccurate claim.
