PS2A: Forces and Motion

  • Newton’s second law accurately predicts changes in the motion of macroscopic objects.
  • Momentum is defined for a particular frame of reference; it is the mass times the velocity of the object. In any system, total momentum is always conserved.
  • If a system interacts with objects outside itself, the total momentum of the system can change; however, any such change is balanced by changes in the momentum of objects outside the system.

-PS3.A: Definitions of Energy

  • At the microscopic level, energy manifests itself in multiple ways, such as motion, light, sound, and thermal energy.

-PS3.C: Relationship Between Energy and Forces

  • When two objects interact through a field change relative position, the energy stored in the field is changed.
