Amplify - Force and Motion 3.1 and 3.2

Front

What is the relationship between mass and change in velocity during a collision?

Back

The object with less mass will experience a greater change in velocity when the same strength force is applied.

Front

Define collision in the context of force and motion.

Back

A collision is the moment when two objects hit each other.

Front

How does mass affect the change in velocity of an object after a collision?

Back

An object with less mass will have a greater change in velocity compared to an object with more mass when a force is applied.

Front

What happens to the velocity of a smaller mass object when it collides with a larger mass object?

Back

The smaller mass object will experience a greater change in velocity than the larger mass object.

Front

If two objects collide, what determines which object experiences a greater change in velocity?

Back

The mass of the objects; the object with less mass will experience a greater change in velocity.

Front

What is the effect of a bug colliding with a car in terms of velocity change?

Back

The bug experiences a greater change in velocity because it has a small mass compared to the car.

Front

Explain why a pod has a greater change in velocity after colliding with a space station if it has less mass.

Back

The pod's smaller mass allows it to accelerate more than the space station when they collide.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force in relation to mass and acceleration?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m * a).

Front

How does the concept of inertia relate to mass and motion?

Back

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

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, assuming no external forces act on the system.
