Energy transfer in collisions

Front

What is energy transfer in collisions?

Back

Energy transfer in collisions refers to the way energy moves from one object to another when they collide. This can involve changes in speed, direction, or shape.

Front

What is a collision?

Back

A collision is an event where two or more objects come into contact with each other, often resulting in a transfer of energy.

Front

Which is not an example of a collision?

Back

A ball flies through the air.

Front

What does momentum depend on?

Back

Momentum depends on an object's mass and velocity.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion, and an object at rest to stay at rest.

Front

As an object moves faster, what happens to its energy?

Back

As an object moves faster, it has more energy to transfer.

Front

If you increase the weight of a moving object, what happens to the energy it can transfer?

Back

The amount of energy it can transfer increases.

Front

What is the formula for momentum?

Back

Momentum = mass x velocity.

Front

What happens to energy during a collision?

Back

During a collision, energy can be transferred, transformed, or conserved.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.
