(4) Science concepts. The student knows and applies the laws governing motion in a variety of situations. The student is expected to:

  • (A) generate and interpret graphs and charts describing different types of motion, including investigations using real-time technology such as motion detectors or photogates; 
  • (B) describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations and graphical vector addition with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, average velocity, instantaneous velocity, frames of reference, and acceleration; 
  • (C) analyze and describe accelerated motion in two dimensions , including using equations, graphical vector addition, and projectile and circular examples; and 
  • (D) calculate the effect of forces on objects, including the law of inertia, the relationship
    between force and acceleration, and the nature of force pairs between objects using methods, including free-body force diagrams.
