Unit 1 - Forces & Motion Flashcards
What happens when two objects collide?
The objects get damaged
What causes changes in the motion and shape of colliding objects?
the speed/mass
Do all objects change shape or bend when they are pushed in a collision?
Yes
How much do you have to push on any object to get it to deform (temporarily vs. permanently)
It depends on the ocbject
How does changing the mass/speed of a moving object before it collides affect the forces on either object in a collision?
The objects apply an equal force on each other
When two objects make contact, do they both apply force?
Yes
How does the strength of each of the forces in a collision compare to each other?
They are the same strength
How does the direction of the forces compare?
They are in opposite directions
Is the direction of the forces the same even when we change the speed/mass of the moving objects?
Yes
What happens to the peak Force when we increase the speed/mass of a moving object?
The peak force increases
