LAC 28:XI.9715. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

A. Identify ways to change the motion of an object (e.g., number, size, or direction of forces). B. Describe how objects in contact exert forces on each other. C. Describe the patterns of an object’s motion in various situations (e.g., a pendulum swinging, a ball moving on a curved track, a magnet repelling another magnet). D. Predict future motion of an object given its pattern of motion. E. Ask questions to identify cause and effect relationships of magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other (e.g., how the orientation of magnets affects the direction of the magnetic force). F. Ask questions to identify cause and effect relationships of electric interactions (e.g., the force on hair from an electrically charged balloon) between two objects not in contact with each other (e.g., how the distance between objects affects the strength of the force). G. Identify and describe the scientific ideas necessary for solving a given problem about magnets (e.g., size of the force depends on the properties of objects, distance between the objects, and orientation of magnetic objects relative to one another).
