OBJECTIVES
 Compare the magnitude and range of the four
fundamental forces
 Explain the difference between weight and mass and
solve for weight mathematically.
 Hypothesize how forces will affect objects in motion and
at rest.
 Explain how forces are created.
 Determine the net force acting on an object.
 Draw a free-body diagram to represent all forces acting
on a body.
 Describe the relationship between net force and
balanced forces
 Solve equilibrium word problems.
 Interpret and apply Newton’s Laws of Motion to objects
on earth.
 Apply the second law quantitatively using the formula
(a=f/m)
 Explain what happens when objects collide in terms of
Newton’s third law.
 Describe how the gravitational force between two objects
depends on their masses and the distance between
them.
 Apply the law of conservation of momentum when
describing the motion of colliding objects (elastic and
inelastic).
