Application of Newton’s laws and balanced forces to explain constant velocity (or speed), making reference to frictional forces.
Application of Newton’s laws and unbalanced forces to explain and/or determine acceleration for situations where more than one force is acting.
Explanation of motion resulting from a ‘reaction’ force in terms of Newton’s third law.
Explanation of free-fall and terminal velocity in terms of Newton’s laws.
