Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12

• Students analyze examples of linear motion and accelerated motion.
• Students calculate speed, velocity, acceleration of moving objects and investigate how forces affect motion in different frames of reference.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12

• Students analyze the effects of the force of gravity on the motion of an object in free-fall.
• Students interpret graphs of accelerated motion.
• Students calculate the final velocity and distance that an object falls for a defined time under the influence only of gravity.
• Students apply the concept of air resistance (friction) to understand terminal velocity and apply it to the motion of an object.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12

• Students interpret graphs to explain the motion needed to generate the graph.
• Students match the type of motion to what the graph will look.
• Students analyze motion as constant and accelerated based on the slope of the graph.
