Learning Targets for Newton’s Laws
I can…
1. Define inertia
2. Identify the relationship between inertia and mass.
3. Define Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
4. Define Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
5. Relate force to mass and acceleration and how a change in one variable causes a change in another
variable
6. Distinguish the difference between mass and weight, one being a force and another being a scalar
7. Using Newton’s 2nd Law, calculate the weight of an object.
8. Define applied force, gravitational force, normal force, tension force, and friction force.
9. Identify the forces of tension, gravity, friction, and normal on a system.
10. Determine if an object is in equilibrium or experiences a net force.
11. Describe the states of motion an object can experience in equilibrium
12. Describe the states of motion an object can experience when experiencing the effects of a net force
13. Analyze the factors that affect the force of friction
14. Use free body diagrams to illustrate the forces acting on an object
15. Use free body diagrams to write and solve equations pertaining to Newton’s 2nd Law
16. Define Newton’s 3rd Law
17. Identify action-reaction force pairs in physical situations
18. Distinguish between action-reaction pairs and forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction that do not comprise action-reaction pairs.
19. Describe a physical situation in terms of all three of Newton’s Laws of Motion
