Motion and Forces
Broad Concept: Newton's laws of motion and gravitation describe and predict the motion of most objects.
| 1.1 | Distinguish between vector quantities (velocity, acceleration, and force) and scalar quantities (speed and mass). |
| 1.2 | Illustrate how to represent vectors graphically and be able to add them graphically. |
| 1.3 | Distinguish between, and solve problems involving, velocity, speed, and constant acceleration. |
| 1.4 | Create and interpret graphs of motion (position vs. time, speed vs. time, velocity vs. time, constant acceleration vs. time). |
| 1.5 | Explain the relationship between mass and inertia.* |
| 1.6 | Interpret and apply Newton's first law of motion.* |
| 1.7 | Interpret and apply Newton's second law of motion to show how an object's motion will change only when a net force is applied.* |
| 1.8 | Use a free body force diagram with only co-linear forces to show forces acting on an object, and determine the net force on it. |
| 1.9 | Qualitatively distinguish between static and kinetic friction, what they depend on and their effects on the motion of objects. |
| 1.10 | Interpret and apply Newton's third law of motion. |
| 1.11 | Understand conceptually Newton's law of universal gravitation. * |
| 1.12 | Identify appropriate standard international units of measurement for force, mass, distance, speed, acceleration, and time, and explain how they are measured. |
