Forces
Subject: Applications of Newton’s 1st Law
Title: The Moving Company
For an object to remain at rest, all forces acting on it must be in equilibrium.
Newton’s Laws
- Create a quantitative graphical representation of the energy stored in a system, and allocate it in different storage modes.
Distinguish between an energy transfer or dissipation.
Constant Acceleration: Model Development
- To introduce photogates as a tool for experimentation and data collection.
- To begin development of a Constant Acceleration Model with an emphasis on the relationship between
acceleration, displacement, and time.
Modeling and Physics Thinking Strategies
- The student will plan and conduct investigations using experimental design processes. (PH.1b, c, d, f)
- Instruments are selected and used to extend observations and make measurements.
- Information is recorded and presented in an organized format.
- The limitations of the experimental apparatus and design are recognized.
- Models and simulations are used to visualize and explain phenomena, to make predictions from hypotheses, and to interpret data.
- Students will construct a Particle Model.
