A collision is.....

• the ability to do work

• a physical interaction between two objects

................ is transformed or transferred. It cannot be made or destroyed.

• energy

• momentum

An ...................... is when energy moves from one object to another.

• heat

• energy transfer

Friction during a collision causes some kinetic energy to be changed into.............

• chemical energy

• heat

The collision of two marbles can cause the............

of both marbles to change.

• motion

• color

Which describes a change that will likely occur in the collision below?

• All of the kinetic energy will transform into light energy and no change in motion will occur.

• Kinetic energy will be transferred from the hammer to the nail, causing the nail to move.

• Kinetic Energy

• Potential energy

As Car A starts moving down the ramp, its...........energy is increasing.

• chemical

• kinetic

The faster a car is moving, the .................. it's kinetic energy.

• greater

• less

When cars collide, their ............ changes
