Forces and Newton’s Laws Unit – Chapters 4, 5, 6

Objectives – What is to be accomplished in this unit? - Study Guidelines

        State Standards and Benchmarks Addressed by this unit.

        P.1.7 Use Newton's Laws (e.g., F = ma) together with the kinematic equations to predict the motion of an object.
        P.1.2 Measure or determine the physical quantities including mass, charge, pressure, volume, temperature, and density of an object or unknown sample.
        P.2.1 Explain that Isaac Newton created a unified view of force and motion in which motion everywhere in the universe can be explained by the same few rules. Note that his mathematical analysis of gravitational force and motion showed that planetary orbits had to be the very ellipses that Johannes Kepler had proposed two generations earlier.
        P.2.2 Describe how Newton's system was based on the concepts of mass, force, and acceleration, his three laws of motion relating to them, and a physical law stating that the force of gravity between any two objects in the universe depends only upon their masses and the distance between them.
