QUESTIONS PHYSICISTS ASK
How do things move?
Why do things move?
What are the basic rules for motion?
Here are the things we will learn about in physics:
- How do things move? We will be looking at how fast something is going (SPEED), how fast it is doing in a certain direction (VELOCITY), and whether it changes its speed (ACCELERATION)
- Why do things move? We will look at why something may move, stop moving, change its direction, speed up or slow down based on BALANCED and UNBALANCED forces.
- What are the basic rules for motion? We will look at NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION to determine the basic rules for all movement that is made.
