Ramp: Forces and Motion
Predict, qualitatively, how an external force will affect the speed and direction of an object's motion. Explain the effects with the help of a free body diagram. Use free body…
Projectile Motion
Determine how each parameter (initial height, initial angle, initial speed, mass, diameter, and altitude) affects the trajectory of an object, with and without air resistance. Predict how varying the initial…
Under Pressure
Describe how pressure changes in air and water as a function of depth. Describe what variables affect pressure. Predict pressure in a variety of situations.
Geometric Optics
Explain how an image is formed by a converging or diverging lens or mirror using ray diagrams. Determine how changing the parameters of the optic (radius of curvature, index of…
My Solar System
Predict how the position, mass, velocity, and distance between planetary bodies affect their motion and orbits. Illustrate how the gravitational force controls the motions of the planets.....
