B2.5 draw speed–time graphs, and use the graphs to calculate average acceleration and distance of objects moving in one dimension [PR, AI, C]
B2.6 solve simple problems involving one- dimensional average speed (vav), distance (Δd), and elapsed time (Δt), using the algebraic equation vav = Δd/Δt [AI]
B2.7 solve simple problems involving one- dimensional average acceleration (aav), change in speed (Δv), and elapsed time (Δt) using the algebraic equation aav = Δv/Δt [AI]
B2.8 plan and conduct an inquiry to determine the relationship between the net force acting on an object and its acceleration in one dimension [IP, PR, AI]
B2.9 analyse, in quantitative terms, the forces act- ing on an object, and use free-body diagrams to determine net force and acceleration of the ob- ject in one dimension [AI, C]
B2.10 conduct an inquiry to measure gravitational acceleration, and calculate the percentage error of the experimental value [PR, AI, C]
B. Understanding Basic Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
B3.1 distinguish between constant, instantaneous, and average speed, and give examples of each involving uniform and non-uniform motion
B3.2 describe the relationship between one- dimensional average speed (vav), distance (Δd), and elapsed time (Δt)
B3.3 describe, in quantitative terms, the relationship between one-dimensional average acceleration (a ),changeinspeed(Δv),andelapsedtime(Δt) av
B3.4 state Newton’s laws, and apply them quali- tatively and quantitatively to explain the motion of an object in one dimension
B3.5 explain the relationship between the acceler- ation of an object and the net unbalanced force acting on that object
