Moving the magnetic train to toward the stationary magnet would increase or decrease the potential energy?
Increase
In a collision between the pod and the ground, which felt a greater force?
In a collision, both objects receive the same force.
Two objects of different mass collide. Object A has more mass than Object B. What will happen to their change in velocity after collision?
Object B will have a greater change in velocity.
When a solar panel turns on an electric fan, light energy is _____ into kinetic energy
Converted
In order for light to change material, energy must be _____.
Absorbed
What happens to an object's potential energy when you move it in the same direction of the magnetic force?
Decrease
What are the steps of the Design Cycle (6)?
Research/Plan-->Design-->Build-->Test-->Analyze-->Repeat
During the ACM mission, the space pod collided with the space station and both experienced a change in velocity. The mass of the pod is 1,100 kg and the mass of the station is 415,400 kg. After the collision, how did the pod’s motion compare to the motion of the space station?
The pod is moving faster than the space station.
