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 diagram or simulation that shows the approach 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

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

Back

Opposite direction of velocity.

Front

What is required to cause an object to change its velocity?

Back

A force.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a).
