This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Understanding Newton's Laws, How are forces related when two objects interact? M: equal force = equal acceleration, Tension? M: "Students think that tension is the 'sum' of the forces exerted at the ends of a string", A student who 'understands' Newton's Laws is able to isolate 'systems' from each other and from the environment, A student who 'understands' Newton's Laws has addressed common misconceptions, identifying the relevant forces acting on multiple objects, does not include extraneous information such as acceleration, uses vectors to describe Comparitive magnitude, M: If there is no force on an object, the object is at rest or will immediately come to rest which is reminiscant of Aristotlian physics, What is a force? impetus theory of motion M: aka 'the ball goes up because the hand imparts a force to the object that keeps it moving up, addressed common misconceptions which center around the following questions: What is a force?, does not include extraneous information such as physical shape, does not include extraneous information such as distance, Accurately diagram a physical situation by identifying the relevant forces, addressed common misconceptions which center around the following questions: What is the connection between force and motion?, creating an accurate free body diagram which uses vectors to describe, What is a force? M: Forces are an action aka 'only animate objects can exert forces', A student who 'understands' Newton's Laws is able to identify action/reaction force pairs, Tension? M: "Students think that tension passes through an object to another string on the other side", M: motion requires a force which is reminiscant of Aristotlian physics, identify action/reaction force pairs including long-range forces (ex. gravity)
