Standard 3.1 Representation Students clearly defne the system, including: ● Two interacting objects, not in contact

● the mass or change of the objects and the distance between the center of the objects Students identify and describe Newton’s Law of Gravitation using mathematical representations: ● Gravity is a product of the masses divided by the separation distance squared ( ● ), it is only attractive. = 1 2 2 ● Make calculations with Newton’s Law of Gravitation Students identify and describe Coulomb’s Law using mathematical representations: ● Electric Force is a product of the charges divided by the separation distance squared ( ), it can be either attractive or repulsive = 1 2 2 ● Make calculations with Coulomb’s Law Mathematical modeling
