(8) Force, motion, and energy. The student knows force and motion are related to potential and kinetic energy. The student is expected to:

  • (A) compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy; 
  • (B) identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces; 
  • (C) calculate average speed using distance and time measurements; 
  • (D) measure and graph changes in motion; and 
  • (E) investigate how inclined planes can be used to change the amount of force to move an object.
