c2.4 analyse 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) [AI, C]
c2.5 plan and conduct an inquiry to analyse the effect of forces acting on objects in one dimen- sion, using vector diagrams, free-body diagrams, and Newton’s laws [IP, PR, AI, C]
c2.6 analyse and solve problems involving the relationship between the force of gravity and acceleration for objects in free fall [AI]
C. Understanding Basic Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
c3.1 distinguish between, and provide examples of, different forces (e.g., friction, gravity, normal force), and describe the effect of each type of force on the velocity of an object
c3.2 explain how the theories and discoveries of Galileo and Newton advanced knowledge of the effects of forces on the motion of objects
c3.3 state Newton’s laws, and apply them, in qualitative terms, to explain the effect of forces acting on objects
c3.4 describe, in qualitative and quantitative terms, the relationships between mass, gravitational field strength, and force of gravity
