| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Momentum | a product of an objects mass and velocity |
| Inertia | the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion in a straight line and an object at rest to remain at rest |
| Crumple zone | the front end of the car that is designed to absorb energy in a crash and slow the deceleration of the vehicles |
| Conservation of momentum | the law of conversation states that the total momentum of objects that interact does not change after they interact |
| vector | a vector quantity that has both force and direction. Usually represented by an arrow for direction and the longer the arrow the more force that is represented |
| KE | kinetic energy |
| PE | potential energy |
| deceleration | to reduce speed or slow down |
| momentum formula | P=mv |
