8.1 Lesson 3 : Deformation

What happens to solid objects when contact forces are applied to them?

• Solid objects remain unchanged when contact forces are applied to them.

• Solid objects can bend and undergo deformation or breakage when contact forces are applied.

True or False: All solid objects remain unchanged when pushed in a collision.

• Sometimes

• False

• True

• Only if they are small objects

Emma, Nora, and Ava are conducting an experiment in their physics class. They are trying to understand what causes the deformation of solids. They have a few theories. Which one do you think is correct?

• Applying contact forces on the solid

• Changing the gravitational pull on the solid

• Inducing chemical reactions in the solid

• Altering the temperature of the solid

During a science experiment, Luna, Sophia, and James applied contact forces to a solid rubber ball. Why did the rubber ball bend or change shape when they applied these forces?

• The rubber ball became softer and more malleable when Luna, Sophia, and James applied contact forces.

• The movement or rearrangement of particles within the rubber ball caused it to change shape.

• The rubber ball's molecules became more tightly packed together when Luna, Sophia, and James applied contact forces.

• The rubber ball's surface became rougher and more uneven when Luna, Sophia, and James applied contact forces.

4.0 Level Question : Draw two objects colliding. Your model should include what the change in shape looks like at the moment of greatest impact.

_{If You are not attempting, draw an X.}
