Physical Science
Goal 2
- Objective 2.01
- Measure and mathematically/graphically analyze motion:
- Frame of reference (all motion is relative - there is no motionless frame).
- Uniform motion.
- Acceleration.
- Find related resources
- Objective 2.02
- Investigate and analyze forces as interactions that can change motion:
- In the absence of a force, an object in motion will remain in motion or an object at rest will remain at rest until acted on by an unbalanced force.
- Change in motion of an object (acceleration) is directly proportional to the unbalanced outside force and inversely proportional to the mass.
- Whenever one object exerts a force on another, an equal and opposite force is exerted by the second on the first.
