Following successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to:
This lesson correlates to ACOS 7Relate velocity, accleration, and kinetic energy to mass, distance, force and time. and ACOS 7B2Solving problems for velocity, acceleration, force, work an power. |
As we have learned, when a force acts upon an object, it causes a change in velocity. A push or a pull will cause an object to speed up, slow down or turn. When a force causes a change, work is done. Work is defined as force acting through a distance. As long as the force is acting, the object is changing, and work is being done.
