S8P3a. Determine the relationship between velocity and acceleration.
S8P3b. Demonstrate the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of gravity, inertia, and friction.
Goal:
Explain the relationship between force, mass, and the motion of objects.
Objectives:
SWBAT explain the relationship between velocity and acceleration.
SWBAT create original examples of balanced and unbalanced forces in their daily lives.
SWBAT graph velocity and acceleration and find the slope of the line.
Big Ideas:
1. An object in motion changes position.
2. Speed measures how fast an object's position changes.
3. Acceleration measures how fast an object's velocity (speed) changes.
4. Forces change motion.
5. The force and mass of objects determine their acceleration.
6. Gravity is a force exerted by the mass of and distance between objects.
7. Friction is a force that opposes motion.
Vocabulary:
motion, reference point, speed, velocity, acceleration, force, net force, inertia, balanced force, unbalanced force, gravity, friction, mass, weight, slope
