1.

Which of the following is NOT a change in velocity

a)

Speed Up

b)

Stop Moving

c)

Continue moving in the same direction at the same speed.

d)

Change Directions

2.

Match the picture with the Key Concept it represents.

a)

How an object changes velocity depends on the direction of the force exerted on the object.

b)

If the same strength force is exerted on two objects bu the objects have different masses, the object with less mass will have a greater change in velocity.

c)

A stronger force can cause a greater change in velocity.

3.

The key concept shown in the picture is:

a)

How an object changes velocity depends on the direction of the force exerted on that object.

b)

If the same strength force is exerted on two objects but the objects have different masses, the object with less mass will have a greater change in velocity.

c)

A stronger force can cause a greater change in velocity.

4.

Which model below shows the correct force strength and direction for collision happening in the "During Force" panel.

a)
b)
c)
d)
5.

What will be true about the force direction for object A in a collision between objects A and B?

a)

left

b)

right

c)

none

6.

What will be true about the force strength for object B in a collision between objects A and B?

a)

Force strength on A will be stronger than the force strength on B.

b)

Force strength on B will be stronger than the force strength on A.

c)

Force strength on A and B will be the same.

d)

There is no force on object A.

7.

Which object will have a greater change in velocity in a collision between A and B?

a)

Object A

b)

Object B

c)

neither, both will have the same change in velocity.

8.

If your goal is to make these objects slow down, in which direction should you apply a force?

a)

left

b)

right

9.

Object B is more massive than Object A. If you apply the same strength force (4 clicks in the SIM) to both objects, which will have a greater change in velocity?

a)

Object A

b)

Object B

c)

neiither, both will have the same change in velocity.

10.

Two asteroids crashed. The crash caused both asteroids to change velocity. Scientists want to use the change in speed and motion to figure out which asteroid has more mass. Based on the information in the diagram, which statement is correct?

a)

Asteroid 1 has more mass than Asteroid 2.

b)

Asteroid 1 and Asteroid 2 are the same mass.

c)

Asteroid 1 has less mass than Asteroid 2.

11.

What can you infer about the strength and direction of forces experienced by the pod and space station when they collided?

a)

In the collision, the strength of the force exerted on the pod is greater than the strength of the force exerted on the space station, but those forces are exerted in opposite directions.

b)

In the collision, the strength of the force exerted on the space station is greater than the strength of the force exerted on the pod, but those forces are exerted in opposite directions.

c)

In the collision, the strength of force exerted on the pod and space station is the same, but those forces are exerted in the opposite direction.

12.

Which of the following statements is FALSE.

a)

In a collision, the forces affecting the objects will be different strengths, depending on the mass of the objects.

b)

Objects in a collision experience different changes in velocity if they have different masses.

c)

The effect of the forces experienced by objects in a collision are different if the masses of the object are different.

d)

The same strength force causes objects with different masses to have different changes in velocity. The object with less mass will have a greater change in velocity when the same force is exerted.
