The force that slows objects down as they collide with air particles

What is "Air Resistance"?

100

A free-body diagram shows _____ on an object due to contact.

What is "Force"?

100

This factor or variable has the largest effect on kinetic energy

What is "Speed"?

100

From our cart & box lab/simulation, which object would best represent a wide receiver (the person catching a football)?

What is "the box"?

100

Other than speed and mass, name two other factors or variables that cause damage in a collision

What is "Shape, Material, Distance/Height, Protective Covering, or Size"?

200

When wind speed against an object increases, what happens to the air resistance forces?

What is "The air resistance forces increase"?

200

Which pitch has the most kinetic energy?

What is "Pitch A"?

200

Decreasing the speed or mass does this to kinetic energy.

What is "Decreases"?

200

Which types of forces would be seen by a car traveling on a bumpy road?

What is "Air resistance AND friction"?

200

What is kinetic energy?

What is "Energy an object has because it is moving"?

300

What happens to an object's speed when air resistance increases?

What is "It decreases"?

300

Which pitch has the most air resistance?

What is "Pitch C"?

300

Increasing the mass by 4 times the original amount means the object will have this much kinetic energy.

What is "4 times"?

300

From our cart & box lab/simulation, which object would best represent a quarterback (the person throwing a football)?

What is "the launcher/push-pull spring scale"?

300

Karate chopping a wood board is an example of this type of collision

What is "Type B"?

400

How does changing a headwind to a tailwind affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has?

What is "The object will have more kinetic energy"?

400

Which ball has the highest final pitch speed?

What is "Pitch A"?

400

Increasing the speed by 5 times the original amount means the object will have this much kinetic energy.

What is "25 times"?

400

What is this an example of?

What is "Potential Energy"?

400

This causes a change in motion.

What is "Energy"?

500

What happens to kinetic energy on a particle-level when air resistance comes into contact with an object?

What is "the particles in the air collide with the particles of the object, and the energy is transferred from the object to the air"?

500

How would the arrows on a free-body diagram differ between an object with low peak force and an object with high peak force?

What is "the object with low peak force would have smaller, shorter arrows facing it while the object with high peak force would have larger, longer arrows"?

500

Speed have more of an effect than mass on kinetic energy because this needs to be done.

What is "Speed needs to be squared"?

500

Marco throws a water balloon at his friend and it pops. What happened to the water balloon right before it popped? (think about what the object reached with its force)

What is "It reached its breaking point"?
500
The force between two surfaces where the force is in the opposite direction of the motion

What is "Friction"?
