• P.S. 10: Force and Motion

    • Make measurements to calculate the speed of a moving object.
    • Apply the concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration when describing motion.
    • Explain how force, mass, and acceleration are related.
    • Differentiate between mass and weight.
    • Identify situations that illustrate each Law of Motion.
    • Apply the concept of mechanical advantage to test and explain how a machine makes work easier.
    • Make measurements to calculate the power of an object.
    • Explain how the concepts of work, force, and motion apply to car safety technology, machines, and rockets.
    • Solve basic problems given the following formulas:
      • Work = force x distance (W=Fxd)
      • Power = work / time (P = W / t)
      • Speed = distance / time (s = d / t)
      • Force = mass x acceleration (F = ma)
