The scientific process has 6 steps.
1. Observe a phenomena
2. Ask a question
3. Make an inference
4. Set up an experiment
5. ?
6. Draw conclusions
Analyze Data (collect evidence)
500
Other than the data, graphs should include what 3 things:
Labels, Legend(Key), Title
500
Kinetic Energy is affected by:
1. Mass
2. Speed
500
Two things occur during collisions that cause damage (whether it is temporary or permanent). These are:
Energy transfer and Force
500
The force on both objects in a collisions is:
1.
2.
Equal and in opposite directions
