I have the power!

Dear Mr. (or Ms.) Petersen,

Thank you for contacting BrainPOP!

In your message, you mentioned an error in our “Force” quiz. I checked it out, and you were correct!

I have changed question #4 so that it now reads “m/s/s” instead of “m/s.” The updated quiz should appear on the site as soon as our server updates itself. This usually occurs every few days, so the corrected quiz should appear online by the beginning of next week.

Thank you for bringing this error to our attention. If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please let us know.

Sincerely,

The power of the pen!

I wrote to BrainPOP because in their GRAVITY quiz, they referred to Inertia as a force.  It is not a force.  Today I got a reply:


Dear Ms. Petersen,

Thanks for contacting BrainPOP!

In your message, you pointed out a clumsy bit of phrasing in our “Gravity” quiz. Acting on your advice, I changed the word “forces” to “factors.”

The updated version of the quiz should appear online in a week or so, as soon as our server updates itself.

Thank you again for bringing this issue to our attention. If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please let us know.

Sincerely,
