8.1 Collisions Review

Front

What do collisions cause changes in?

Back

Collisions cause changes in both shape and motion.

Front

In what direction are forces applied on both objects during a collision?

Back

Forces are applied in the opposite direction on both objects during a collision.

Front

True or False: Speed or mass increases before a collision lead to lower peak forces between objects during a collision.

Back

False

Front

True or False: Forces are applied on both objects unequally during a collision.

Back

False

Front

What kind of energy does an object have when it's moving?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What happens to the shape of objects during a collision?

Back

The shape of objects can change during a collision due to the forces applied.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force during a collision?

Back

Greater mass can lead to greater force during a collision, assuming speed is constant.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
