There must be some type of motion for this to occur.

What is a collision?

100

This means the same thing as stationary.

What is motionless?

100

An object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by a force.

What is intertia?

100

This is the unit measurement of force.

What is a Newton?

100

When an object changes shape or form.

 (may not be permanent).

What is deform?

200

All forces in a collision are what?

What is equal and opposite.

200

The amount of matter in an object or substance.

What is mass?

200

An object at rest stays as rest, unless acted upon by a force.

What is intertia?

200

This is the energy released when an object is in motion.

What is Kinetic Energy?

200

The property of something bending or stretching without breaking.

What is elasticity?

300

What can cause an increase in the peak or maximum force in a collision?

An increase in mass OR an increase in speed OR an increase in both

300

When two or more objects come into contact; may cause damage to one or more of the objects.

What is a collision?

300

It takes more of this to get an object to speed up, slow down or change direction.

What is a force?

300

What is the maximum amount of force an object can withstand before it changes shape permanently?

Elastic limit

300

What is peak force?

400

An organ made of interconnected cells called neurons.

What is your brain?

500

True or False? All collisions cause some type of damage.

False; sometimes objects can collide without causing any damage.

500

When an object is no longer in it's original form the object is what?

Deformed

500

How often do we use forces?

All the time.

500

Energy moving from one object to another.

What is energy transfer?

500

The maximum amount of deformation an object can withstand before breaking.

What is Elastic Limit?
