Unit 1: Forces and Motion: Dynamics
Unit 1
Are You Ready?
Overall Expectations (from text):
In this unit, you will be able to:
- analyze the motions of objects in horizontal, vertical, and inclined planes, and predict and explain the motions by analyzing
the forces acting on the objects;
- investigate motion in a plane using experiments and/or simulations;
- analyze and solve problems involving forces acting on an object in linear, projectile, or circular motion using vectors,
graphs, and free-body diagrams;
- analyze ways in which the study of forces relates to the development and use of technological devices, such as vehicles
and sports equipment.

taken from: Curriculum.Org, pg. 7:
"This unit develops students’ understanding of motion of objects with reference to the forces acting
on them. Students, through laboratory investigations and simulations, analyse and solve problems involving forces using vectors,
graphs, and free-body diagrams. Students analyse the dynamics of motion with respect to the development and use of technology
in various fields such as space travel and the development of sports equipment."
Suggested Activities
Linear Motion
1.1.1 Introduction to End-of-Unit Task with reference to Final Assessment Tasks.
1.1.2 Discussion and analysis of the motion of objects in horizontal planes (with reference to forces).
