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

friction from the floor

Red

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

force

200

You are playing pool. You hit the white ball and it hits a solid blue ball that is still. What happens to both balls after the collision?

The white ball will stop and the blue ball will start moving.

200

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

Full cart

300

To stop an object, the force must come from:

the opposite direction of the object's motion

300

What is the relationship between force, mass, and velocity


cause and effect relationship

300

What forces are different in space?

gravity and air resistance 

300

A pod was supposed to land at the space station. However, the pod is more massive due to the rock samples on board. What does the pod need to experience to connect safely?

The thrusters needed to fire more to stop the pod, because the pos only slowed down during the mission.

300

If three trains each separately changed speed the exact amount (slowed down or sped up), what does that tell you about the force that acted on them?


they all experienced the same strength force because they changed speed by the same amount.

400

To speed up an object, the 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

Different strength forces will cause acting on an object will cause...

 different amounts of velocity change

400

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

 If the same strength force is exerted on objects of different mass, the force will cause the greatest velocity change in the object with

the least mass.

500

Why would a more massive object be harder to slow down or speed up?


It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.
