horizontal motion, and projectile motion. 12
 explain how Galileo inferred that objects in
vacuum fall with uniform acceleration, and that
force is not necessary to sustain horizontal
motion
 Explain the subtle distinction between Newton’s
1st Law of Motion (or Law of Inertia) and
Galileo’s assertion that force is not necessary to

 Explain how the photon concept and the
fact that the energy of a photon is directly
proportional to its frequency can be used to
explain why red light is used in
photographic dark rooms, why we get
easily sunburned in ultraviolet light but not
in visible light, and how we see colors
