Indiana State Standards for Physics 1

that Relate to Ch 8 - Energy

BHS -> Mr. Stanbrough -> Physics -> Physics 1 -> Mechanics -> Energy -> Terms & Objectives -> this page

Background:

The Indiana Academic Standards 2000 for Physics I contain two standards and four supporting themes. The standards are:

• Standard 1: The Principles of Physics
• Standard 2: Historical Perspectives of Physics

The supporting themes are:

• The Nature of Science and Technology
• Scientific Thinking
• The Mathematical World
• Common Themes

---

The Standards that Relate to Chapter 8 - Energy are:

Standard 1: The Principles of Physics

• The Properties of Matter
  • P.1.4 Employ correct units in describing common physical quantities. 
• The Relationships Between Motion and Force
  • P.1.5 Use appropriate vector and scalar quantities to solve kinematics and dynamics problems in one and two dimensions.
  • P.1.6 Describe and measure motion in terms of position, time, and the derived quantities of velocity and acceleration.
  • P.1.9 Use the conservation of energy law ... to predict, both conceptually and quantitatively, the results of the interactions between objects.
• The Nature of Energy
  • P.1.11 Recognize energy in its different manifestations, such as kinetic (KE = mv2), gravitational potential (PE = mgh), ... , or mechanical.
  • P.1.12  Use the law of conservation of energy to predict the outcome(s) of an energy transformation.
  • P.1.14 Explain the relation between energy (E) and power (P). Explain the definition of the unit of power, the watt.
• Momentum and Energy
  • P.1.15 Distinguish between the concepts of momentum (using the formula p = mv) and energy.
  • P.1.16 Describe circumstances under which each conservation law may be used.
