Lesson Plan: Newton’s Second Law: Variable Mass Mathematics • Third Year of Secondary School
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to use differentiation for Newton’s second law of motion of a particle with variable mass.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- understand Newton’s second law of motion for variable mass,
- use Newton’s second law of motion to solve problems with variable mass,
- solve real-world problems using Newton’s second law of motion with variable mass.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- Newton’s second law of motion for constant mass,
- differentiation.
