Force and Laws of Motion
This chapter page turns the high-level subject view into an ordered learning slice, with direct links from curriculum items into topic and skill detail.
Ordered curriculum items
Each curriculum item can now route into topic and skill-level detail.
2
Identify balanced forces
Recognise situations where net force is zero.
3
Identify unbalanced forces
Recognise situations where net force changes motion.
4
Explain role of friction in motion
Explain how friction opposes or supports motion in daily life.
5
State Newton first law
State the law of inertia accurately.
6
Explain inertia in daily situations
Use everyday examples to explain inertia.
7
State Newton second law
Explain relation between force, mass and acceleration.
8
Calculate force using second law
Solve numerical problems using F = ma.
9
Define SI unit of force
Define newton using mass and acceleration.
10
State Newton third law
State action and reaction force pairs accurately.
11
Apply third law to real situations
Explain recoil, walking, swimming or similar examples.
12
Apply Newton laws to everyday events
Use all three laws to explain common observations.
13
Relate constant velocity to zero net force
Explain why constant velocity requires zero resultant force.
14
Relate change in velocity to force
Explain acceleration as the result of unbalanced force.
15
Model force and motion events
Develop simple models to manipulate force variables.
16
Investigate variables in force experiments
Plan fair tests, collect data and communicate force investigation results.
