What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.

Outcomes

In this unit you will learn about:

• The concept and applications of adhesion
• The concept and applications of cohesion

This video explains the angles of elevation and depression.

Applying Newton's first law to answer some true/false statements about why objects move (or not).

Solving a word problem to find average velocity and speed of an object in one-dimension.

Forces at a distance are explained by fields (gravitational, electric, and magnetic) permeating space that can transfer energy through space. Magnets or electric currents cause magnetic fields; electric charges or changing magnetic fields cause electric fields. 

Learn how you can calculate the maximum height of a launched object by using the total energy of a system. Energy that is conserved can be transferred within a system from one object to another changing the characteristics of each object, like position. 

Mathematical expressions, which quantify how the stored energy in a system depends on its configuration (e.g. relative positions of charged particles, compression of a spring) and how kinetic energy depends on mass and speed, allow the concept of conservation of energy to be used to predict and describe system behaviour.
