I. QUARTER 1 FORCE, MOTION AND ENERGY
Investigate the relationship between the amount of force 1
applied and mass of the object to the change in the
object’s motion.
Infer that when a body exerts a force on another, an 5
equal amount of force is exerted back on it.
Demonstrate that when a body exerts a force on another, 8
an equal amount of force is exerted back on it.
Relate the laws of motion to bodies in uniform circular 11
motion .
Infer that circular motion requires the application of 13
constant force directed toward the center of the circle.
