Key Question: What can we say about forces when nothing is moving? 5A Investigation: Equilibrium and Forces *Students read text section 5.1 AFTER Investigation 5A
5A Investigation Topics • Use spring scales. • Make an object in equilibrium. • Measure forces on an object that is in equilibrium. • Draw free-body diagrams. • Measure the force of gravity. • Distinguish between weight and mass.
scalar magnitude vector component free-body diagram Draw vectors to scale to represent a quantity's magnitude and direction. Solve vector problems. Find a vector's components. Chapter 5.1 Objectives and Vocabulary

equilibrium normal force resultant Hooke's lab spring constant Explain what it means to say an object is in equilibrium. Use free-body diagrams to find unknown forces. Explain how springs exert forces. Add force vectors. Chapter 5.2 Objectives and Vocabulary
Key Question: How do we account for friction? 5B Investigation: Friction *Students read text section 5.3 AFTER Investigation 5B
5B Investigation Topics • Measure kinetic energy of a system. • Determine the force of friction from experimental data. • Compare friction in a car to friction in a sled. • Use Newton's second law to calculate force of friction in a rolling car. • Compare the strength of sliding friction to that of rolling friction. • Determine how the force of friction varies with speed.
