The student understands the relationship between force and motion within systems.

Content

The student is expected to calculate and analyze how the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the net force acting on the object and the mass of the object using Newton's Second Law of Motion;

Force, Motion, and Energy - Newton's Laws, Balanced & Unbalanced Forces

5.7.A investigate and explain how equal and unequal forces acting on an object cause patterns of motion and transfer of energy;

6.7.B calculate the net force on an object in a horizontal or vertical direction using diagrams and determine if the forces are balanced or unbalanced;

6.7.C identify simultaneous force pairs that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction that result from the interactions between objects using Newton's Third Law of Motion.

7.7.D analyze the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on the state of motion of an object using Newton's First Law of Motion.
