Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Force and Motion ~ NGSS Link PS2.A-M.2

The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion.

FM101001	If an object is moving forward, and a force pushing it backward is greater than a force pushing forward, the object will slow down, stop, and then begin to move faster and faster in the opposite direction.
FM102001	A ball thrown into the air goes slower and slower on the way up, stops, and then moves faster and faster as it comes down.

FM095001	A moving object will slow down the entire time that a force that opposes its motion is greater than the force pushing or pulling it forward.
FM096001	A hockey puck that is sliding across the ice will move slower and slower the entire time it slides across the ice.
FM100001	It is possible for an object to be moving at constant speed without a force pushing or pulling it.
FM011005	The speed of a sailboat will continue to increase the entire time the force of the wind pushing it forward is greater than the force of the water slowing it down.
FM064004	Use of tables of speed versus time, and information about forces acting on an object, to determine its speed at various times.
FM089002	A sled that is being pulled with a constant force can move faster than the person pulling it if the force of the pull is greater than the force of friction on the sled.
FM090002	A wagon that is being pulled with a constant force can move faster than the person pulling it if the force of the pull is greater than the force of friction on the wagon.
FM092002	A box that is being pushed with a constant force can move faster than the person pushing it if the force of the push is greater than the force of friction on the box.
FM093002	A cart that is being pushed with constant force can move faster than the person pushing it if the force of the push is greater than the force of friction on the cart.

FM016004	If a school bus is slowing down, any forces moving it forward would have to be weaker than any forces slowing it down.
FM055004	The speed of a sailboat will continue to decrease the entire time the force of the water slowing it down is greater than the force of the wind pushing it forward.
FM056003	An object’s speed will decrease the entire time that a force is acting in the direction opposite its direction of motion.
FM069005	Use of tables of speed versus time, and information about forces acting on an object, to determine the object's speed at various times.
FM103001	Use of tables of speed versus time, and information about forces acting on an object, to determine the object's speed at various times.
FM094002	If an object is slowing down, a force that is causing it to slow down must be greater than the sum of the forces that are pulling or pushing the object forward.
FM097002	A snowmobile sliding across a lake with its engine turned off will move slower and slower the entire tme it is sliding across the lake.
FM098002	A moving snowmobile will slow down the entire time that the force of the wind moving toward the snowmobile is greater than the force moving the snowmobile forward.
