As a basis for understanding this concept: Students know how to solve problems that involve constant speed and average speed. 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). Students know how to apply the law F=ma to solve one-dimensional motion problems that involve constant forces (Newton's second law). 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).* Students know how to solve two-dimensional trajectory problems. * Students know how to resolve two-dimensional vectors into their components and calculate the magnitude and direction of a vector from its components. * Students know how to solve two-dimensional problems involving balanced forces (statics). NGSS: HS-PS2-1. Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. ................
