Amplify Force and Motion, Chapters 1 and 2

Front

What is the best model to display the actions of a space pod docking with a space station?

Back

A model that shows the alignment and connection of the space pod to the docking port of the space station.

Front

What is the force applied to an object as it moves across a surface?

Back

Friction.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

The speed of an object in a particular direction.

Front

If two objects of different masses have the same force applied, which will have a greater change in velocity?

Back

The less massive object.

Front

In which direction must a force be applied to cause an object to slow down?

Back

Opposite direction of velocity.

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is how fast an object is moving, while velocity includes direction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
