Core Idea - Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
[HS.PHY.2.3] - Apply scientific principles of motion and momentum to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.* Clarification Statement: Both qualitative evaluations and algebraic manipulations may be used.
[AI.F-LE.A.1.b] -
Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another.*
[HS.PHY.2.2] -
Use mathematical representations to show that the total momentum of a system of interacting objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system. Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the qualitative meaning of the conservation of momentum and the quantitative understanding of the conservation of linear momentum in interactions involving elastic and inelastic collisions between two objects in one dimension.
