HS-PS2.A Forces and Motion

  • Newton’s second law accurately predicts changes in the motion of macroscopic objects. (HS-PS2-1)
  • Momentum is defined for a particular frame of reference; it is the mass times the velocity of the object. (HS-PS2-2)
  • If a system interacts with objects outside itself, the total momentum of the system can change; however, any such change is balanced by changes in the momentum of objects outside the system. (HS-PS2-2), (HS-PS2-3).
