100

Variables that you manipulate or change are called what?

Independent variables

100

Kinetic energy increases when what two variables increase?  

speed and mass

100

If I drag my shoe across the floor, what contact force is stopping my shoe?

Friction

100
Forces are _____ and ______ on both objects in a collision.
Equal and opposite
200

A free body diagram has these many objects in each diagram.  

one

200

Variables that is being tested in an investigation or that results from a changing a variable.

Dependent Variable

200

Higher KE results in ________ peak force.

Higher

200
A race car driving at high speeds are designed a certain way to help go against this variable. 

Air resistance

200

A lower mass object takes how much force to get it to move?

less force

300

To show a that a force is stronger, the arrow in your free body diagram should be what?  

Longer

300

What are variables you keep the same in an experiment?

Control/Constant Variables

300

The more KE an object has, the more of this an object will have in a collision (not peak force)

Damage

300

What happens to KE of a ball going through air resistance?  

energy transfers from the ball to the air particles.

300

A higher mass object takes how much force to get it to move at the same speed as a lower- mass object.

more force

400

If you wanted to show a ball being thrown to someone else, what different forces would you show that is hitting the ball as it is thrown?

Air Resistance forces

400

If I wanted to test what bowling surface is the best for bowling, what would be my independent variable? 

Different surfaces

400

This variable is proportionally related to KE.  If this variable increases by a certain amount, KE will also increase the same amount.  

Mass

400

DAILY DOUBLE:  What causes an object to lose KE when going through air resistance?

Energy transfer from contact forces between the object and air particles.

400

When contact forces occur between two objects, what always happens as a result?

energy transfer

500

Which way would the forces of friction or air resistance go on an object going in one way?  

The arrows for friction or air resistance would go the opposite way.

500

If i wanted to test if certain bowling surfaces were best for bowling a high score, what would be my dependent variable?

My bowling score
500

Which variable is the most important factor in increasing/decreasing KE?

speed

500

What always results when there is energy transfer from an object due to friction or air resistance?

Temperature rises or energy decreases from the moving object to friction or air resistance.

500

Why does swing speed decrease when you try to swing a heavier object if you swing the object with a same force as a lighter object?

It takes more force to swing a heavier object.  If you have a smaller force to move a heavy object, speed will slow down.
