Different objects

300

________________ is the energy of motion.

Kinetic energy

400

On a graph, what is the name of the vertical axis?

The y axis

400

500

_________ is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand before permanent deformation?

Elastic limit

500

Which axis on a graph represents the independent variable?

The x axis (or horizontal axis).

500

Which of Newton's laws explains why, when we suddenly stop, items in the car will fall over or spill?

Newton's First Law (an object in motion will stay in motion or an object at rest will stay at rest unless an external force acts upon it).

500

Why do phones break when we drop them?

The material the phone is made of is deformed past the elastic limit during a collision due to the forces acting on the phone.
