For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback! All positions of objects and the directions of forces and motions must be described in an arbitrarily chosen reference frame and arbitrarily chosen units of size. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. Plan an investigation individually and collaboratively, and in the design: identify independent and dependent variables and controls, what tools are needed to do the gathering, how measurements will be recorded, and how many data are needed to support a claim.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback! Science knowledge is based upon logical and conceptual connections between evidence and explanations.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback! This activity focuses on the following Three Dimensional Learning aspects of NGSS: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.Ĭlick to view other curriculum aligned to this Performance Expectation
Use the catapult model to explore the force exerted on the cotton ball and graph the correlation between angle (force) and distance traveled (acceleration).Recognize that understanding the scientific concepts described by Newton's laws of motion enables engineers to design airplanes, amusement park rides, elevators, and much more.Aerospace engineers save fuel by exploiting the second law when they let the planet's force of gravity pull a spacecraft towards the planet to increase its velocity, and then steer the spacecraft away from crashing into the planet.Īfter this activity, students should be able to: Understanding the scientific concepts of Newton's laws of motion has made it possible for engineers to build airplanes that fly, elevators and amusement park rides that are exciting but safe, cars that drive safely at high speeds and structures that do not collapse.
This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS). Students also learn that objects of greater mass require more force to result in the same distance traveled by a lighter object. When they pull the metal "arm" back further, thus applying a greater force to the cotton ball, it causes the cotton ball to travel faster and farther. They learn how Newton's second law of motion works by seeing directly that F = ma. See our Hawaii & Alaska Shipping Policy and International Shipping Policy for details.
