Unit 2: Force and Motion
Teaching Background:
Speed, Velocity , and Acceleration (8.6B)
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Statement:
The student knows that there is a relationship between force, motion, and energy.
Student Expectation:
The student is expected to differentiate between speed, velocity, and acceleration.
The force that acts on the object has the ability to change its motion status
Teaching Target:

Motion can be defined as movement of an object, relative to some other point.
Speed measures how quickly an object moves a certain distance, but does not factor
in the direction of the movement.
Velocity measures how quickly an object moves and the specific direction in which
the object is moving.
Acceleration measures how an object changes velocity by either changing direction,
moving faster, slower, or continuing to move at the same rate. Acceleration is the
rate of velocity change during a certain period of time.
Unbalanced forces (8.6A)
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Statement:
The student knows that there is a relationship between force, motion, and energy.
Student Expectation:
The student is expected to demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change the
speed or direction of an object's motion.
Teaching Target:



There are always forces acting on objects, whether the objects are moving or are at
rest.
The total force on an object is called the net force and is calculated by adding the
forces acting in the same direction and subtracting forces acting in the opposite
direction.
If an object is subjected to a net force, it will experience acceleration. The speed will
continuously increase.


If the net force on an object is zero, the forces are balanced and the object stays still
or in constant motion. If the net force is not zero the forces are unbalanced and the
object‘s motion will change.
Speed is the distance on object travels divided by the time it takes the object to
travel that distance (s=d/t).
Newton’s Laws of Motion (8.6C)
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Statement:
The student knows that there is a relationship between force, motion, and energy.
Student Expectation:
The student is expected to investigate and describe applications of Newton’s laws of
inertia, law of force and acceleration, and law of action-reaction such as in vehicle
restraints, sports activities, amusement park rides, Earth’s tectonic activities, and
rocket launchers.
Teaching Target:
 Newton’s law of inertia states that an object at rest stays at rest or an
object in motion stays in motion until unbalanced forces act upon it.
 Newton’s law of force and acceleration states that the acceleration of an
object depends on the object’s mass and magnitude of the force acting
upon it (F=ma).
 Newton’s law of action-reaction states that for every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction.
