What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.

Outcomes

In this unit you will learn about:

• The concept and applications of adhesion
• The concept and applications of cohesion

Solving a word problem to find average velocity and speed of an object in one-dimension.

Patterns and processes of evolution. How evolution and natural selection are reflected in the similarities and differences of organisms. 

In this unit you will apply your understanding of the components of motion in one dimension using linear equations. This will help you to solve problems about motion in one direction and equip you to understand how these concepts apply to everyday life.

There are three equations for linear motion with constant acceleration. They can be used to calculate, and therefore predict, the outcome of motion when three out of the four variables are known.

Outcomes:

• Design a diet and exercise regimen.
• Estimate the number of calories required for basic survival.
• Estimate the number of calories burned by exercise.
• Explain how heart health depends on diet and exercise.
• Explain how Body Mass Index (BMI) depends on weight and height.

In this lesson you will learn about:

• The concept of elasticity
• Understand the relationship between tension and extension

Outcomes

In this unit you will learn about:

• The concept of elasticity
• Understand the relationship between tension and extension

• Identify when forces are balanced vs unbalanced.
• Determine the sum of forces (net force) on an object with more than one force on it.
• Predict the motion of an object with zero net force.
• Predict the direction of motion given a combination of forces.
