Newton's 2nd & 3rd laws
Uniform Acceleration Objectives:
UA.1 know the difference between acceleration and velocity
UA.2 describe the motion of an object given its acceleration
UA.3 calculate the acceleration of an object with direction and proper units
UA.4 interpret the meaning of the sign of the acceleration
UA.5 identify/draw related plots of motion maps, position, velocity and acceleration vs time graphs for uniform acceleration
UA.6 identify the meaning of the slope and y-intercept for a velocity vs time graph
UA.7 use the acceleration of gravity as 9.8 m/s2 to solve freefall problems
Newton’s 2nd & 3rd law Objectives:
N2.1 explain the relationships between acceleration, force and mass
N2.2 identify when the forces must be unbalanced for an object based on its motion
N2.3 use Newton’s 2nd law to determine the forces acting on an object moving at a constant acceleration
N2.4 draw a force diagram for an object experiencing a net force not equal to zero
N2.5 make calculations for acceleration based on a force diagram
N2.6 apply Newton’s 2nd law wording to different situations
N2.7 describe forces on an object falling in freefall and with air resistance
N2.8 distinguish between weight and mass
N2.9 identify Newton’s 2nd law situations and use it to solve problems
N2.10 identify Newton’s 3rd law situations and the action-reaction force pairs involved
