100

A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

What is a force?

100

This is required to change the velocity of and object.

What is a force?

100

A force exerted in the direction of an object's movement will cause this.

What is speeding up?

100

After the team reconnected with the pod, it was doing this.

What is moving away?

200

Speed in a particular direction.

What is velocity?

200

How and object changes velocity depends on this of a force exerted on the object.

What is direction?

200

A force exerted on an object that is not moving will cause this to happen.

What is a start?

200

The pod was collecting samples of this.

What is an asteroid?

300

An event or process that leads to a result or change.

What is an effect

300

A stronger force can cause a greater change in this.

What is velocity?

300

A force that is weaker than an object's velocity in the opposite this as the object's velocity will cause it to slow down.

What is direction?

300

What the pod approached the space station, it was supposed to do this.

What is docking?

400

A force between an object and the surface it is moving over.

What is friction?

400

A force is require to change the velocity of this

What is an object?

400

A force exerted in the opposite direction as an object's velocity and is equal to the object's velocity will cause this to happen.

What is a stop?

400

The pod used these to change it's velocity when it was trying to dock.

What is a thruster?

500

To reach a conclusion using evidence and reasoning.

What is an inference?

500

Understanding this relationship can help you understand what led to a particular result.

What is cause and effect?

500

A force that is this in the opposite direction of the object's velocity and is stronger than the object's velocity will cause the object to move in the opposite direction.

What is exerted?

500

This claim claims that the thrusters were too weak to stop the pod's momentum and it bounced off the space station.
