Solve problems involving forces and work. Apply Newton’s laws to physical problems. Identify the different types of energy. Solve problems using principles of conservation of energy. Define the principles of impulse, momentum, and collisions. Use principles of impulse and momentum to solve problems. Determine the location of the center of mass and center of rotation for rigid bodies in motion. Discuss rotational kinematics and dynamics and the relationship between linear and rotational motion. Solve problems involving rotational and linear motion. Define equilibrium, including the different types of equilibrium. Discuss simple harmonic motion and its application to real-world problems. Prepare laboratory reports that clearly communicate experiment information in a logical and scientific manner. Conduct basic laboratory experiments involving classical mechanics. Relate physical observations and measurements involving classical mechanics to theoretical principles. Evaluate the accuracy of physical measurements and the potential sources of error in the measurements. Design fundamental experiments involving principles of classical mechanics. Identify appropriate sources of information for conducting laboratory experiments involving classical mechanics.
