__objectives__

Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to describe and calculate the attraction between massive objects based on the distance between them.

//For example:// Calculate the weight of a person on different planets in the solar system. || p. 80-85 || __concepts__ inertia Newton's 1st law Newton's 2nd law a- F net /m Newton's 3rd law
 * Newton's Laws of Motion

__objectives__ Recognize that inertia is the property of an object that causes it to resist changes in motion. Explain and calculate the acceleration of an object subjected to a set of forces in one dimension (F=ma).

Demonstrate that whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted by the second object back on the first object. || p. 86-92 || __concepts__ air resistance terminal velocity free fall
 * Using Newton's Laws
 * centripetal force (honors)
 * law of conservation of momentum (honors)
