Forces & Newton
This is a push or a pull on an object that can change its speed, direction, or shape.
Force
This word describes something that is easily broken or destroyed, like a thin glass vase.
Fragile
What is the definition of Deform?
To bend, distort, or change shape.
This is when something is harmed or not working right; it can be bent, nicked, broken into pieces, or scratched.
Damage
This type of energy is stored in an object because of its position or state, like a ball held above the ground.
Potential Energy
According to this law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Issac Newton's Third Law of Motion
This word describes something that cannot bend or be forced out of shape; it is not flexible.
Rigid
If you crush a metal can you will ___________ it.
Deform
This word means to determine, indicate, or express the quantity of something.
Quantify
This is the energy an object has because it is moving (the energy of motion)
Kinetic Energy
When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with equal strength; this demonstrates this law.
A steel beam is an example of a material that is this, while a wet noodle is the opposite.
Rigid
This is an act or instance of coming together with force; a crash or bump.
Collision
A student drops a glass plate onto a hard floor. The plate hits the floor and breaks into pieces. The plate is an example of a material that is this, and the broken pieces are an example of this.
Fragile and damaged
A car speeding down the highway has more of this than a car sitting still in a parking lot.
Kinetic Energy
A soccer player kicking a ball applies this to change the ball's speed and direction.
Force
This word describes something that can stretch or change shape and then return to its original shape when the force is removed.
Elastic
Two bumper cars hitting each other is an example of this.
Collision
To measure how far a spring stretches under a force, you would do this to the stretch.
Quantify
A stretched rubber band, a book on a high shelf, and a coiled spring all store this type of energy.
Potential Energy
When a rocket pushes hot gas downward, the gas pushes the rocket upward. This is a real-world example of this law.
A student drops a solid rubber ball onto a hard floor. The ball hits the floor, briefly changes shape, and then bounces back up to nearly the same height. The ball is an example of a material that is this.
Elastic
In a collision, a soft material may do this and then spring back, while a rigid material may do this permanently instead.
Deform (temporarily) and deform (permanently)
After a collision, a fragile object may show this in the form of a crack, while a scientist would do this to describe exactly how much force was applied.
Damage and Quantify
If you lift a bowling ball onto a shelf, you increase its ______ ______; if you then drop it, that energy turns into ______ ______.
Potential energy and kinetic energy
