Amplify - Force and Motion 3.1 and 3.2

Front

What happens to the forces during a collision between two objects of the same mass, where one is moving and the other is stationary?

Back

The forces will be the same strength and in the opposite direction.

How does mass affect the change in velocity of an object when a force is applied?

Back

An object with a smaller mass experiences a greater change in velocity when the same force is applied.

Why does a bumper car with less mass experience a greater change in velocity after a collision?

Back

Because it has less mass, it will have a greater change in velocity compared to a more massive object when the same force is applied.

Do two objects of different masses experience the same strength of force during a collision?

Back

Yes, they experience the same strength of force, regardless of their masses.

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

What is inertia and how does it relate to mass?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, and it is directly related to the mass of the object.

Front

How does the conservation of momentum apply in collisions?

Back

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

What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?

Back

In elastic collisions, kinetic energy is conserved, while in inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is not conserved.

Front

How does the velocity of an object change when it collides with a stationary object of equal mass?

Back

Both objects will exchange their velocities; the moving object will come to rest, and the stationary object will move with the initial velocity of the first object.
