6-punching and pulling

Objectives:

(1.) Define force, provide examples of forces and draw force diagrams (by recognizing the presence or absences of specific force types).

(2.) Analyze representations of physical situations (dot diagrams, motion graphs, force diagrams) to predict whether or not the forces are balanced or unbalanced.

(3.) Understand and apply Newton’s first law of motion and its implication.

(4) Explain what inertia is and is not identify the variables that affect and do not affect the quantity of inertia an object possesses.

(5.) Analyze representations of physical situations (dot diagrams, motion graphs, force diagrams) to predict whether or not the forces are balanced or unbalanced.

(6.) Be able to use Newton’s first law to explain the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces.

(7.) Understand and apply Newton’s second law of motion and its implication. This means being able to graphically, mathematically and verbally state the relationship between mass, force and acceleration.

(8.) Explain why an object’s motion can or does change.

(9.) Use Newton’s second law of motion to interpret force diagrams.

(10.) Distinguish between mass and weight.

(11.) Understand and apply Newton’s third law of motion and its implication.
