1.
Explain
the relationship between the motion of an object and the net external force
acting on the object. Understand and be
able to apply Newton’s First Law to situations involving an object at rest or
in motion.
2.
What is net force? Draw and analyze a force diagram to determine
net force.
3.
What is equilibrium? What are the two ways in which an object can
be in equilibrium?
4.
Be able to calculate the acceleration of an
object of known mass caused by a known net force (Newton’s Second Law). If the net force is doubled while the mass
stays the same, by how much does the acceleration change? If the mass is doubled while the net force
stays the same, by how much does the acceleration change?
5.
Be able to identify action-reaction pairs of
forces and apply Newton’s Third Law to determine the magnitude and direction of
the forces.
6.
Explain the difference between mass and
weight. Be able to calculate weight in
Newtons from a mass in kg.
7.
What is normal force? Be able to determine the magnitude and
direction of normal forces.
8.
Explain the difference between static and
kinetic friction. Use coefficients of
friction to calculate frictional force.
Be able to determine frictional force for an object in equilibrium or an
object with a known acceleration.
9.
What is tension?
Be able to analyze a force diagram to determine the tension in a rope
pulling on an object.
