5.3 The student will investigate and understand that there is a relationship between force and energy of moving objects. 

      Key ideas include…

a) moving objects have kinetic energy; 

b) motion is described by an object’s direction and speed; 

c) changes in motion are related to net force and mass; 

d) when objects collide, the contact forces transfer energy and can change objects’ motion; and 

e) friction is a force that opposes motion.
