Force and Energy

Front

What is the relationship between the strength of a push and the distance an object moves?

Back

A stronger push can make things move farther.

Front

Which object is likely to change shape the most upon colliding with a hard surface?

Back

A glass snow globe.

Front

Front

Explain how friction affects the motion of objects.

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion, causing objects to slow down or stop.

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position, while kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How does mass affect the force required to move an object?

Back

Greater mass requires a greater force to achieve the same acceleration.
