Goal 4: The learner will develop an understanding of forces and Newton's Laws of Motion.

Determine that an object will continue in its state of motion unless acted upon by a net outside force (Newton's First Law of Motion, The Law of Inertia).

Assess, measure and calculate the conditions required to maintain a body in a state of static equilibrium.

Assess, measure, and calculate the relationship among the force acting on a body, the mass of the body, and the nature of the acceleration produced (Newton's Second Law of Motion).

Analyze and mathematically describe forces as interactions between bodies (Newton's Third Law of Motion).

Assess the independence of the vector components of forces.

Investigate, measure, and analyze the nature and magnitude of frictional forces.

Assess and calculate the nature and magnitude of gravitational forces (Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation).
