Introduction to Collisions: Domino Fall

TEKS & Objectives

8.6 Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that there is a relationship between force, motion, and energy. The student is expected to:

8.6.A demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of an object’s motion

We will explore forces of motion.

I will test the relationship between an object’s motion and the forces acting on it.
