8.1 OpenSciEd Flashcard

Front

Define Deformation

Back

Bend, distort, or change shape.

Front

Define Elastic Limit

Back

Maximum amount or force or deformation an object can withstand before it deforms permanently.

Front

What does CER stand for?

Back

Claim, Evidence, Reasoning.

Front

What factors affect how much an object deforms when a force is applied?

Back

The type of material, the shape, and the thickness of an object.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

The energy that an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is the relationship between Kinetic Energy and collision forces?

Back

The more Kinetic Energy that objects in a system have, the higher the peak forces they can produce in a collision.

Front

What is the Breaking Point?

Back

The point at which an object can no longer withstand applied forces and fails.

Front

What is Stored Energy?

Back

Energy that is stored in an object, which can be released to do work.

Front

What is the difference between Elastic and Plastic Deformation?

Back

Elastic deformation is reversible, while plastic deformation is permanent.

Front

What is a Force?

Back

A push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate.
