|
a. |
|
Students know how to
calculate kinetic energy using the formula E=(1/2)mv2. |
|
b. |
|
Students know how to
calculate changes in gravitational potential energy near Earth by using the
formula (change in potential energy) = mgh (h is the change in
the elevation). |
|
c. |
|
Students know how to
solve problems involving conservation of energy in simple systems, such as
falling objects. |
|
d. |
|
Students know how to
calculate momentum as product mv. |
|
e. |
|
Students know momentum is
a separately conserved quantity different from energy. |
|
f. |
|
Students know an
unbalanced force on an object produces a change in its momentum. |
|
g. |
|
Students know how to
solve problems involving elastic and inelastic collisions in one dimension
by using the principles of conservation of momentum and energy. |
|
h. |
* |
Students know how to
solve problems involving conservation of energy in simple systems with
various sources of potential energy, such as capacitors and springs. |
