Processing and analyzing data and information
Elaboration
- Sample opportunities to support student inquiry:
- Derive equations and construct diagrams that use graphical vector addition or subtraction to determine a resultant for a physical phenomenon (e.g., displacement of an object, change in velocity or acceleration of an object, Fnet equations).
- Compare an experimental result with a theoretical result and calculate % error or difference (e.g., acceleration due to gravity, coefficient of friction).
- Diagram the orthogonal components of the forces acting on an object on a horizontal surface and an inclined plane.
- Interpret free-body diagrams to develop an equation that describes the motion of an object.
- Create and interpret circuit diagrams.
- Identify wave behaviour patterns in mediums with different properties (e.g., material, fixed/open-end, densities).
