Newton's Second Law
Grade 9•45 minutes•HS-PS2-1, Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.
Learning Objective
I can analyze data to show the mathematical relationship between net force, mass, and acceleration as described by Newton's 2nd Law.
