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 2^nd & 3^rd 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 2^nd 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 2^nd 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 2^nd law situations and use it to solve problems

N2.10 identify Newton’s 3^rd law situations and the action-reaction force pairs involved
