Connect motion, energy, fields and modern evidence
Use unfamiliar values and changed assumptions to defend a physical conclusion.
These 14 original public cases sample the current physics sequence. Ten require calculations and four require an evidence-based choice. Together they sample motion, forces, conservation, rotation, fluids, thermal physics, waves, fields/circuits and modern evidence. They do not cover every course objective. Explain your reasoning before recording a response; a matching number or choice does not automatically grade the explanation.
First and latest responses, up to three attempts and known feedback exposure are retained in science backups. Explanation drafts remain editable after feedback. Returning later or importing an older backup does not make an exposed case fresh. Keys are inspectable in this static application: this is practice, not a secure exam or independent mastery assessment.
0/14 cases attempted; 0/14 first responses match the keys. Unattempted cases supply no evidence. These counts do not change lesson completion or award course mastery.

Review the reasoning
The rotation and fluid case relationships were checked on 30 October 2026 against torque equilibrium and Archimedes’ principle. Related lesson links provide the other concept sources. All case values and prose are original.
For each response, identify the system boundary, quantities and units, relevant mechanism, assumptions and a limitation. Explain what evidence would change your conclusion. If you revise after feedback, describe the error you repaired. A current explanation draft can reflect later learning and is not a locked record of prior understanding.
A reviewer should examine the explanations alongside the virtual transport-design project and a fresh task with changed evidence. Check calculations, causal reasoning and alternatives separately. Public practice does not establish laboratory technique, independent investigation or AP readiness.
Science work is stored locally in this browser, separately from mathematics and AI. It does not sync automatically. Use this science-only backup; this checkout's older all-subject export does not include science.
A legacy file is available only when the complete snapshot fits the 36 MB limit. For larger snapshots, prepare a complete file set below; never discard notebooks to make a smaller file.
Matching imported notebook drafts replace their current drafts. Omitted lessons and known first attempts remain. Export your current work first if you want to retain both drafts.
Complete file sets and course backups
A file set can hold more work than one science file. Keep its manifest and every part together. Each file is limited to 36 MB. This format needs this version of LearnAI or a compatible newer version; older versions can use only the legacy single-file backup above.
The set includes every saved science course and global continuation at this moment. Later edits need a new export. A conflicting tab exports its own visible work, which may differ from saved work in another tab.
0 file(s) selected. File order and filenames do not determine identity. Missing, changed or conflicting parts block the entire restore; no good part is applied by itself.
Science storage: loading. No account or remote computation is required.
