(4) Science concepts. The student knows and applies the laws governing motion in a variety of situations. The student is expected to:
(A) generate and interpret graphs and charts describing different types of motion, including the use of real-time technology such as motion detectors or photogates;
(B) describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, average velocity, instantaneous velocity, and acceleration;
(C) analyze and describe accelerated motion in two dimensions using equations, including projectile and circular examples;
(D) calculate the effect of forces on objects, including the law of inertia, the relationship between force and acceleration, and the nature of force pairs between objects;
(E) develop and interpret free-body force diagrams; and
(F) identify and describe motion relative to different frames of reference.
