Specific Expectations

C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to energy and momentum, including, but
not limited to: work, work–energy theorem, kinetic energy, gravitational potential
energy, elastic potential energy, thermal energy, impulse, change in
momentum–impulse theorem, elastic collision, and inelastic collision [C]
C2.2 analyze, in qualitative and quantitative terms, the relationship between work
and energy, using the work–energy theorem and the law of conservation of
energy, and solve related problems in one and two dimensions [PR, AI]
C2.6 analyze, in qualitative and quantitative terms, elastic and inelastic collisions in
one and two dimensions, using the laws of conservation of momentum and
conservation of energy, and solve related problems [PR, AI]
C3.3 distinguish between elastic and inelastic collisions
C3.4 explain the implications of the laws of conservation of energy and
conservation of momentum with reference to mechanical systems (e.g., damped
harmonic motion in shock absorbers, the impossibility of developing a perpetual
motion machine)
