Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions: Grades 9-12

Motion and Stability: Forces and InteractionsHS-PS2

  • HS-PS2-1.

    Analyze data to support the claim that Newton's second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.HS-PS2-1

  • HS-PS2-2.

    Use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system.HS-PS2-2

  • HS-PS2-3.

    Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.HS-PS2-3

  • HS-PS2-4.

    Use mathematical representations of Newton's Law of Gravitation and Coulomb's Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.HS-PS2-4

  • HS-PS2-5.

    Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current.HS-PS2-5

  • HS-PS2-6.

    Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.HS-PS2-6
