P3.2 Net Forces
Forces have magnitude and direction.The net force on an object is the sum of all the forces acting on the object. Objects change their speed and/or direction only when a net force is applied. If the net force on an object is zero, there is no change in motion (Newton’s First Law). |
MS-PS2-4.
Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects. [Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence for arguments could include data generated from simulations or digital tools; and charts displaying mass, strength of interaction, distance from the Sun, and orbital periods of objects within the solar system.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include Newton’s Law of Gravitation or Kepler’s Laws.] |
3 Pretest and Student DifferentiationIf you score a 90% or above on this pretest on your first attempt you will not need to complete any of the practice for this unit and an accelerated assignment will be provided. The pretest is not open internet or buddy or book. This pretest will be timed and may only be completed in class.

3.4 Newton's Law of Inertia
pg 33-34
BIG IDEA:
Newton’s first law states that every object continues in a state of rest, or of uniform speed in a straight line, unless acted on by a nonzero net force.
