Question $14$

$--/1$

When novice physics students were asked to sort problems into categories based on common$/$similar solutions, they formed categories based on

the physical$/$surface characteristics of the objects involved, e$.$g$.,$ inclined planes and springs

the underlying structure or physics principles involved, e$.$g$.,$ the conservation$-$of$-$energy law and Newton's second law

a combination of the physical$/$surface characteristics of the objects and underlying physics principles involved

none of the above
