Engineering Design Process

The longer the _______________ it takes an object to stop moving (velocity change to zero), the smaller the impact force. 

• time

• length

• mass

• acceleration

"Only popsicle sticks can be used" is an example of

• criteria/need

• constraint

• design iteration

• research
