Overall Expectations:

​​

C2. investigate, in qualitative and quantitative terms, net force, acceleration, and mass, and solve related problems;

C3. demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between changes in velocity and unbalanced forces in one dimension.

​

Specific Expectations: 

​

 C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to forces, including, but not limited to: mass, time, speed, velocity, acceleration, friction, gravity, normal force, and free-body diagrams

​

C3.3 state Newton’s laws, and apply them, in qualitative terms, to explain the effect of forces acting on objects

 

C2.5 plan and conduct an inquiry to analyse the effect of forces acting on objects in one dimension, using vector diagrams, free-body diagrams, and Newton’s laws [IP, PR, AI, C]

​

C2.4 analyze the relationships between acceleration and applied forces such as the force of gravity, normal force, force of friction, coefficient of static friction, and coefficient of kinetic friction, and solve related problems involving forces in one dimension, using free-body diagrams and algebraic equations (e.g., use a drag sled to find the coefficient of friction between two surfaces)

​

C2.2 conduct an inquiry that applies Newton’s laws to analyse, in qualitative and quantitative terms, the forces acting on an object, and use free-body diagrams to determine the net force and the acceleration of the object [PR, AI, C]
