If an object is pushed from both sides with 100N, what will happen to the object?

It will not move or stay still
100

Will a more mass object or less massive object take more force to stop?

You push a chair across the floor. It gradually slows down and stops. Why did the chair stop moving?

friction from the floor

100

When something slows down due to friction, in what direction is the force applied? 

opposite direction

200

What is required to change the velocity of an object?

force

200

What are the 5 ways an object can change velocity?

Start, Stop, Speed Up, Slow Down, or Change Direction

200

A push or pull that can cause motion

force

Sandra pushed a wooden block and it slid across the floor. The wooden block gradually slowed down and stopped after moving 10 meters. Why did the block stop moving?

Friction

200

In a collision, forces are exerted with....(strength & direction)

equal strength and in the opposite direction

300

To stop an object, the force must come from:

the opposite direction of the object's motion

300

It takes more force to slow down your bicycle by 5 mph than to speed it up 5 mph. True or False


False

300

The force that slows down motion between touching objects.

friction

300

A pod hits a space station. The space station is much more massive than the pod. The pod experiences a much stronger force than the station. True/False

False

300

A car drove 200 kilometers in 4 hours. What was the cars average velocity? 

50 kilometers/hour

400

To speed up an object, the direction of force should be:

in the same direction of the object's motion

400

Speed with direction

Velocity

400

the sum of forces on an object

net force

400

A pod hits a space station. The space station is much more massive than the pod. The pod experiences a much greater change in velocity. True/False

True

Three golf balls with the same mass were rolling on the ground. Each ball was hit by a golf club, but not from the same direction. All the golf balls changed speed as a result of being hit. Ball A speeds up by 2cm/s, Ball B speeds up by 2cm/s and Ball C slows down by 2cm/s. Which ball experienced the strongest force?

All 3 experienced the same force because they all changed velocity by the same amount.

500

To start an object moving, the force must come from:

any direction

500

An object with less mass collides into an object with more mass. Which object will have the greater change in velocity?

less mass

500
the tendency to remain unchanged unless acted upon by a force (stay still or continue moving) 

inertia

500

There is a collision between a bug and a car. The bug experiences a greater change in velocity because...

it has a much smaller mass
