fromexperiences pushing an object off-center and causing it to rotate. In part (a) of the problem, bothp-prims lead to the same result: motion and rotation to the left. In part (b), students are told thatthe spool rolls without slipping. Since moving upward is not an option, students fall back on the“Force as a spinner” idea and state that the spool rolls to the left. In part (c), though, the two p-prims contradict. “Force as a Mover” asserts that the spool should move to the right whereas“Force as a spinner” dictates that the spool move to the left. According to diSessa, most noviceschoose the spinner p-prim and therefore would predict that the spool rolls to the left.Engineering students who knows Newtonian mechanics, however, should be able to put
