A semi truck!

100

The amount of matter in an object is called its...

mass

100

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

friction from the floor causing a force in the opposite direction. 

100

Both boats have same mass, blue boat speeds up from 2 km/h to 5km/h (Speed up by 3km/h). Red boat slows down from 10km/h to 5km/h (Slow down by 5 km/h).  Which had greater force? 

Red boat had a greater force because it had a greater change in velocity. 

200

What is required to change the velocity of an object?

force

200

What are the 5 ways an object can move?

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

200

You are playing pool. You hit the white ball and it hits a solid blue ball that is still. What strength and direction of force is exerted on both objects?  

Equal but opposite forces. 

200

An empty shopping cart and a full shopping cart both increase speed by 2m/s. Which one experienced the greater force.

The full cart because it has more mass. 

300

To stop an object, what direction and strength of force is needed? 

Same strength force in the opposite direction. 

300

What strength and direction of force do you need to slow down your bicycle?


Small force in the opposite direction. 
300

The force that slows down motion between touching objects.

friction

False

300

A bug and a car collide, which one experience the stronger force?

They experience the same force in opposite directions. 

400

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

in the same direction of the object's motion

400

Speed with direction

Velocity

400

when 2 objects hit each other

collision

400

Two objects who have the same mass experienced an unknown force. Object A speed up by 3 m/s and object B slowed down by 3 m/s. Which object experienced the stronger force? 

Both objects experienced the same strength of force.

Messi kicked a soccer ball and it moves at 5 k/m, Mia stop a soccer ball that was moving at 10 k/m.  Who exerted more force on soccer ball?

Mia

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 great change in velocity?

less mass

500

To apply a force

Exert

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

500
If a large semi truck and and a smart car collide, which will experience a greater change in velocity? 

The smart car because a lesser mass needs less force to have a greater change in velocity.
