In Physics Unit 2, Energy of Motion and the Application of Newton's Laws of Motion, we will begin by taking an in depth look at Newton's three laws of motion and learning the differences in each. Inertia, force, momentum and action-reaction will all be discussed. We will then move on to the energy of motion, looking at the differences between potential and kinetic energy. Numerous labs and online simulations will be used in this unit as well.
The essential learning targets for this unit are as follows:
- I can explain Newton’s three laws of motion and identify real-life examples of them and/or give examples of each.
- I can apply and explain Newton’s three laws of motion as they pertain to both moving and stationary objects.
- I can define and give examples of momentum and inertia.
- I can explain the law of conservation of momentum and give real life examples.
- I can explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy.
- I can differentiate between objects with potential and kinetic energy.
Below you will find links to resources that will be helpful for this unit.
