The document discusses key concepts relating to forces and motion, including Newton's second law, engineering design, and conservation of momentum. It provides disciplinary core ideas, concepts, skills, and products for each topic. Newton's second law accurately predicts changes in motion of objects subject to a net force. Engineering design uses forces in motion to minimize force on the Dragon capsule during ocean collision. Conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

Newton’s Second Law DCI: Disciplinary Core Ideas • HS-PS2-1 PS2.A Newton’s second law accurately predicts changes in the motion of macroscopic objects.
Concept: Newton’s Second Law
• F= ma • W=mg Skills: • Apply and solve mathematical equations for objects subject to a net unbalanced force, such as a falling object, an object rolling down a ramp, or a moving object Product: • Tables and graphs of position or velocity as a function of time for objects subject to a net unbalanced force, such as a falling object. Engineering Design DCI: Disciplinary Core Ideas • HS-PS2-3 PS2.A If a system interacts with objects outside itself, the total momentum of the system can change; however, any such change is balanced by changes in the momentum of objects outside the system. • HS-PS2-3A EST1.A Criteria and constraints also include satisfying any requirements set by society, such as taking issues of risk mitigation into account, and they should be quantified to the extent possible and stated in such a way that one can tell if a given design meets them. (secondary) • HS-PS2-3 ETS1.C Optimizing the Design Solution. Criteria may need to be broken down into simpler ones that can be approached systematically, and decisions about the priority of certain criteria over others 9tradeoffs) may be needed (secondary).
Concept: Engineering Design
• Every time any object moves in the universe, the concept of forces in motion is at play Skills: • Research different examples of how engineers use forces in motion to create things • Design a device to minimize the force on the Dragon capsule using a parachute during its collision with the ocean Product: • A video presentation of the engineering design for preventing the Dragon capsule from being damaged when hitting the ocean Conservation of Momentum
DCI: Disciplinary Core Ideas
• HS-PS2-2 PS2.A • Momentum is defined for a particular frame of reference; it is the mass times the velocity of the object. • If a system interacts with objects outside itself, the total momentum of the system can change; however, any such change is balanced by changes in the momentum of objects outside the system. Concept: Conservation of Momentum • Total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system. Skills: • Calculate the momentum for a variety of systems • Design an experiment to demonstrate how momentum is conserved when two objects interact. Product: • Mathematical model to describe the physical interaction of 2 objects (Dragon and ocean) in terms of the change of momentum as a result of their interaction.
