Amplify Forces Ch 3 L 3.1

October 2 & 3

Objective: I will describe the different ways an object can change motion during a collision.

Multiple Choice

Knowing what we do about MASS - if the POD was more massive, which claim was more likely?

• Claim 1 - the thrusters made it change direction immediately

• Claim 2- the thrusters only slowed the pod and it hit the station and bounced off

Poll

What are your thoughts on collisions - when a collision occurs, are both objects affected?

• Yes

• No

Open Ended

Give an example of a COLLISION you're aware of:

Poll

After the collision - which claim do you think is correct?

• Claim 1 - the pod is moving faster than the space station

• Claim 2 - the pod is moving the same speed as the space station

• Claim 2 - the pod is moving slower than the space station

Poll

In a collision where 1 object is moving and the other is stopped, what do you think will happen?

• The objects will bounce off each other (move opposite directions)

• The moving object will stop, while the stopped one will begin moving

• Both objects will stop

Poll

In a collision where both objects are moving toward each other, what do you think will happen?

• The objects will bounce off each other (move opposite directions)

• Both objects will stop

• Both objects will go one direction

Poll

In a collision where both objects are moving the same direction, one faster than the other, what do you think will happen?

• The objects will bounce off each other (move opposite directions)

• Both objects will stop

• Both objects will go one direction, the slower one will speed up the faster one will slow down.
