Unit 1: Motion and Its Applications

Overall Expectations:

SIV.01 demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills(initiating and planning, performing and recording, analyzing and interpreting, and communicating);
MAV.02 investigate, in qualitative and quantitative terms, the linear uniform and non-uniform motion of objects, and solve related problems.

Specific Expectations:

SI1.12 use appropriate numeric (e.g., SI and imperial units), symbolic, and graphic modes of representation (e.g., free body diagrams, algebraic equations);
SI1.13 express the results of any calculations involving data accurately and precisely, to the appropriate number of decimal places or significant figures;
MA2.01 use appropriate terminology related to motion, including, but not limited to: distance, displacement, position, speed, acceleration, instantaneous, force, and net force;
MA2.09 analyze, in quantitative terms, the forces acting on an object, and use free-body diagrams to determine net force and acceleration of the object in one dimension.
