Amplify Force & Motion Engineering Internship

Front

What is the relationship between mass and impact force during a collision?

Back

Greater mass results in greater impact force during a collision.

Front

How can the impact force during a collision be reduced?

Back

By lowering the mass of the colliding object.

Front

What is one method to decrease the velocity of a falling object?

Back

Increasing air resistance can decrease the velocity of a falling object.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on falling objects?

Back

Air resistance opposes the motion of falling objects, reducing their acceleration and velocity.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum in collisions?

Back

The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, provided no external forces act on the system.

What happens to the forces experienced by two objects during a collision?

Back

Both objects experience equal and opposite forces during a collision, according to Newton's third law.

Front

What is the significance of maximizing drop speed in engineering design?

Back

Maximizing drop speed is generally not a criterion for safety in engineering design, as it can increase impact forces.

Front

What factors influence the impact force experienced during a collision?

Back

Factors include the mass of the objects, their velocities, and the duration of the collision.

Front

How does increasing the surface area of an object affect air resistance?

Back

Increasing the surface area of an object increases air resistance, which can slow down its fall.

Front

What is the role of gravity in the motion of falling objects?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the Earth, causing them to accelerate downward.
