Force
You can push or pull an object.
How can you apply force?
Speed in a particular direction.
What is velocity?
A force is required.
What is required to change to velocity of an object?
Claim 2
Which claim states that the pod's thrusters did not stop the pod, and it bounced against the space shuttle and went the other way?
Gravity pulls the object down.
Why do objects fall?
A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.
What is force?
It depends on the direction of the force on that object.
How can an object change velocity?
Claim 1
Which claim states that the thursters made the pod go the other direction?
When an object goes faster as it is falling.
What is acceleration?
To apply force.
What does exert mean?
A stronger force.
What can cause a greater change in velocity?
The pod had a greater mass because it was carrying asteroids.
Why was the force of the thrusters not strong enough to stop the pod?
s=d/t
What is the formula of speed?
A force between an object and the surface it is moving over.
What is friction?
Understading cause and effect relationship.
What can help you infer what led to a particular result?
There is no friction in space and no gravity.
What was different in the pod experiment because it was in space instead of on Earth?
When two objects hit eachother.
What is collision?
The amount of matter that makes up an object.
What is mass?
The object with less mass will have a greater change in velocity.
What happens if the same strength force is exerted on two objects, but the objects have different masses.
They stop the pod at the space station, and they do this by creating an opposing force to the pod.
What are the thrusters for, and how do they work?
