Impact of Forces
Impact of Forces
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect objects, and how can Newton’s First and Second Laws of Motion be observed in everyday situations?
Critical Thinking: Analyzing and applying Newton's Laws of Motion to understand the principles governing forces and motion.
Communication: Effectively articulating observations and conclusions from experiments involving forces, mass, and motion, including the appropriate use of units.
What are examples of balanced and unbalanced forces in everyday situations, and how do they demonstrate Newton’s First Law of Motion?
How does changing the mass of an object affect its motion when unbalanced forces are applied, illustrating Newton’s Second Law?
Why is it important to consider the frame of reference and specify units when discussing forces and motion?
Students will explain the significance of frame of reference and the necessity of specifying units in the study of motion and forces.
MS-PS2-2: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
