|---|---|
| cause: | an event or process that leads to a result or change |
| collision: | the moment when two objects hit each other |
| effect | a result or change that happens because of an event or process |
| equal | the same in quantity, size, degree, or value |
| exert | to apply a force |
| Force: | a push or a pull that can change the motion of an object |
| friction: a force between an object and the surface it is moving over | force between an object and the surface it is moving over |
| infer: | to reach a conclusion using evidence and reasoning |
| mass: | the amount of matter that makes up an object |
| velocity: | speed in a particular direction |
| matter: | anything that has mass and takes up space |
| opposite: | acting or going in the reverse direction |
| pod: | a self-contained unit on an aircraft, spacecraft, vehicle, or vessel that can be detached for a particular function |
| speed: | how fast an object is moving |
| velocity: | speed in a particular direction |
| A _____is a push or pull that is required to change an object’s velocity. | Force (CAUSE) |
| describes how an object is moving. | Velocity (EFFECT) |
| A _____ is required to change the velocity of an object. | Force |
| How an object changes velocity depends on the direction of the ____ exerted on that object. | force |
| A _____ force can cause a greater change in velocity. | stronger |
| If the same strength force is exerted on two objects but the objects have different masses, the object with ____ mass will have a greater change in velocity. | less |
| When two objects collide, a force is exerted on each object. The two forces are exerted in _____ directions, but they are the same strength. | opposite |
| Even though the force exerted on each object in a collision is the same strength, if the objects have different masses, their changes in velocity will be _____ | different. |
