SPH4U-B

1.1 Speed Velocity in One and Two Dimensions - speed and other scalar quantities - velocity and other vector quantities - position and velocity graphs - displacement and velocity in two dimensions

1.2 Acceleration in One and Two Dimensions - acceleration and average acceleration in one dimension - graphing motion with constant acceleration - constant acceleration equations for uniformly accelerated motion - acceleration in two dimensions

1.3 Acceleration Due to Gravity - measuring acceleration due to gravity - constant acceleration equations for free-fall motion (basically the same as 1.2) - terminal speed

1.4 Projectile Motion - combining horizontal and vertical motion – common time

1.5 Frames of Reference and Relative Velocity

2.1 Forces and Free-Body Diagrams - common forces (gravity, normal, tension, static friction, kinetic friction, air resistance) - free-body diagrams - analyzing forces on stationary objects

2.2 Newton’s Laws of Motion - first law of motion (inertia) - second law of motion (f = ma) - third law of motion (equal and opposite reaction)

2.3 Applying Newton’s Laws of Motion

2.4 Exploring Frictional Forces - coefficients of friction (static and kinetic) - fluid friction and Bernoulli’s principle

2.5 Inertial and Noninertial Frames of Reference

3.1 Uniform Circular Motion - uniform circular motion - centripetal acceleration

3.2 Analyzing Forces in Circular Motion - net force on an object in uniform circular motion acts toward the centre of the circle - rotating frames of reference

3.3 Universal Gravitation - the force of gravitational attraction between any two objects is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers (FG = Gm1m2/r2) - Universal Gravitation Constant (G) calculated by Henry Cavendish in 1798 to be 6.67 E -11 Nm2/kg2

3.4 Satellites and Space Stations - circular orbit - apparent weight and artificial gravity
