Out of these two vehicles will take more force to stop?

Dumptruck or a VW Bug

What is the dumptruck?

100

This is the amount of matter in an object.

What is mass?

Gio pushes a chair across the floor. It gradually slows down and stops. Gio is wondering why the chair stop moving?

friction from the floor ya goof

100

(Larger or smaller) objects are easier to stop when they are in motion

What is smaller

200

This is what is required to change the velocity of an object. 

What is Force?

200

These are the 5 ways an object can move

What are: Start, Stop, Speed Up, Slow Down, or Change Direction

200

A push or pull that can cause motion

What is force?

200

Darron is 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, and hopefully Darron makes the shot

200

This is the formula for speed.

What is distance/time?

300

To stop an object, the force must come from:

the opposite direction of the object's motion

300

If there are two objects, one with a mass of 15 kg, and one with 10 kg, and both are applied the same force, THIS object will go further.


What is the 10 kg object?

300

This is the force that slows down motion between touching objects.

What is friction?

300

Ms. Young decided to get a second job as a truck driver.  She is wondering why the 18 wheeler takes more force to drive than her Subaru Forester. Who in this brilliant class can tell her why?

The 18 wheeler has a lot more mass than the Subaru Forester

300

To apply a force is the definition of this word.

What is exert?

400

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

in the same direction of the object's motion

400

A soccer ball, a baseball, and a bowling ball were all pushed with a force and had the same ending speed. Does this mean they had the same force applied to them?

No, they are different masses.

400

When 2 objects hit each other it is called this

What is a collision?

400

A pod hits a space station. The space station is much more massive than the pod. The pod experiences a much greater change in velocity. True/False

True

400

This is the only place that does not have (or has very little) friction

What is space?

500

Which direction does the force of Friction act on an object

The opposite 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

Speed in a particular direction is called this

What is velocity?
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

This is why the pod failed to dock onto the space station.

The pod had a lot more asteroid samples, and it's mass was greater than normal, so the thruster force that is usually used was not strong enough to stop it.
