STEM PRACTICE AND EVIDENCE WORKBENCH
Compare near-zero net-force evidence with constant-velocity evidence and audit interval acceleration and consistency claims.

Transparent method
Interval acceleration equals final velocity minus initial velocity divided by elapsed time. Near-zero force means absolute force is within the entered force tolerance. Constant velocity means absolute velocity change is within its entered tolerance. The evidence pair is locally consistent when both conditions are true or when both are false; learner acceleration must also match. Supported means both the acceleration and consistency classification agree with the supplied scalar evidence. When force is nonzero and velocity changes, the row is compatible with the first-law screen but does not verify the second-law magnitude. Review vectors, measurement uncertainty, frame, friction, timing, net-force construction, and whether tolerance choices are defensible.
Confirm the question, source, units, notation, response coding, model assumptions, and review threshold. Keep an unchanged copy of the original evidence.
Run the worked example, inspect every intermediate row, and compare it with a hand calculation, diagram, representation, or approved subject method.
Record the method, assumptions, units, classifications, and flagged rows. Verify the editable report independently before educational or laboratory use.
How to interpret the result
Use when learners must connect a near-zero net force with rest or constant velocity rather than with rest only. The workbench checks a bounded logical relationship and interval acceleration. It does not calculate force from individual interactions, infer mass, verify an inertial frame, resolve vectors, model changing acceleration, or establish measurement validity.
A nearly zero force with nearly unchanged rest or motion is consistent, and both example accelerations are close to zero. The nonzero-force case also changes velocity, so the evidence pair does not conflict with the first-law relationship. In the final row, force is near zero while velocity changes by one unit, so its consistent claim is flagged.
Interval acceleration equals final velocity minus initial velocity divided by elapsed time. Near-zero force means absolute force is within the entered force tolerance. Constant velocity means absolute velocity change is within its entered tolerance. The evidence pair is locally consistent when both conditions are true or when both are false; learner acceleration must also match.
Supported means both the acceleration and consistency classification agree with the supplied scalar evidence. When force is nonzero and velocity changes, the row is compatible with the first-law screen but does not verify the second-law magnitude. Review vectors, measurement uncertainty, frame, friction, timing, net-force construction, and whether tolerance choices are defensible.
Do not state that motion requires a net force, confuse velocity with acceleration, use speed when direction changes, compare one force instead of net force, omit elapsed time, call nonzero force and changing velocity inconsistent, or treat tolerance as measurement truth. Draw all interactions, sum signed components, and inspect uncertainty.
