|---|---|---|
| Standard/Cluster | Description | # Items |
| California SCI.9-12.PH.1.a ( 9, 10, 11, 12 ) |
Students know how to solve problems that involve constant speed and average speed. | 5 |
| California SCI.9-12.PH.1.b ( 9, 10, 11, 12 ) |
Students know that when forces are balanced, no acceleration occurs; thus an object continues to move at a constant speed or stays at rest (Newton’s first law). | 2 |
| California SCI.9-12.PH.1.c ( 9, 10, 11, 12 ) |
Students know how to apply the law F = ma to solve one-dimensional motion problems that involve constant forces (Newton’s second law). | 6 |
| California SCI.9-12.PH.1.d ( 9, 10, 11, 12 ) |
Students know that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object always exerts a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction (Newton’s third law). | 4 |
| California SCI.9-12.PH.1.g ( 9, 10, 11, 12 ) |
Students know circular motion requires the application of a constant force directed toward the center of the circle. | 3 |
