Physics CS Unit 4

Measures how slow or fast a collision happens

• Impact time
• Impact force
• strain rate
• Critical stress limit

The force applied by the object being hit

• Impact force
• Impact time
• Kinetic energy
• strain rate

The maximum Kinetic Energy an object COULD have

• potential energy
• Kinetic energy
• Impact force
• Critical stress limit

The energy of movement

• Kinetic energy
• potential energy
• Impact force
• momentum

How movement is measured

• momentum
• Kinetic energy
• potential energy
• Impact time

An object's tendency to resist being moved, slowed, or sped up

• inertia
• momentum
• Kinetic energy
• Impact force

The maximum stress an object can take before damage to it's structure begins to happen

• Critical stress limit
• strain rate
• potential energy
• Kinetic energy

How fast or slow an object is being "stretched"

• strain rate
• Critical stress limit
• Impact force
• Impact time
