Victorian Curriculum Code – VCSSU133

Content description

The description and explanation of the motion of objects involves the interaction of forces and the exchange of energy and can be described and predicted using the laws of physics

 Elaborations

• recognising that a stationary object, or a moving object with constant motion, has balanced forces acting on it
• gathering data to analyse everyday motion produced by forces, for example, measurements of distance and time, velocity, mass, acceleration and force
• investigating the effects of applying different forces, including Earth’s gravitational force, to familiar objects
