Mastering Force and Motion Through Simulation Techniques

The video tutorial explains how to use the force and motion simulation in Amplify. It covers adjusting horizontal and vertical velocities, understanding positive and negative directions, and selecting objects based on mass. The tutorial also demonstrates setting targets and collision parameters, applying force to objects, and analyzing results. An example mission is provided to illustrate hitting a target with a specific velocity by exerting force.

What happens when you set a positive horizontal velocity in the simulation?

• The object moves downwards.

• The object moves upwards.

• The object moves to the right.

• The object moves to the left.

How is the mass of an object represented in the simulation?

• By the color of the object.

• By the size of the object.

• By the shape of the object.

• By the speed of the object.

What condition must be met for an object to disappear into a target?

• It must be moving in a circular path.

• It must be the lightest object.

• It must be the largest object.

• It must be moving at a specific speed.

What happens when two objects collide in the simulation?

• They change color.

• They both disappear.

• They bounce off each other.

• They merge into one object.

What is the effect of hitting an object with force in the simulation?

• It changes the object's color.

• It decreases the object's mass.

• It increases the object's velocity.

• It stops the object completely.

How much does the velocity increase with each application of force?

• 3 cm per second

• 1 cm per second

• 2 cm per second

• 0.5 cm per second

What information can be found in the analyze section of the simulation?

• The object's color and shape.

• The object's current speed and kinetic energy.

• The object's mass and size.

• The object's position and direction.

In mission 3, what is the required horizontal velocity to hit the target?

• Positive 2 cm per second

• Negative 2 cm per second

• Negative 5 cm per second

• Positive 5 cm per second

What must be done to slow down an object moving at negative 5 cm per second to negative 2 cm per second?

• Decrease the object's mass.

• Increase the object's mass.

• Apply a force in the opposite direction.

• Apply a force in the same direction.

What should be recorded in the chart after completing mission 3?

• The object's color and shape.

• The object's position and direction.

• The object's mass and size.

• The object's initial and final velocities.
