Collision Course Final Flashcard

Front

What is the Frontal Lobe responsible for?

Back

The Frontal Lobe is known for higher-cognitive functions such as problem solving, decision making, and planning.

Front

What is the next step after building a prototype in engineering?

Back

The next step is to Test the prototype.

Front

What does Newton's 1st Law of Motion state?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in straight line motion unless acted on by a force.

Front

If two skaters push off each other, which skater will have a greater velocity if one has a smaller mass?

Back

The skater with the smaller mass will have a greater velocity than the skater with the larger mass.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law states that Force equals Mass multiplied by Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the definition of momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

In Newton's 2nd Law, if mass increases while force remains constant, acceleration decreases.

Front

What is an example of a force acting on an object?

Back

Gravity pulling an apple down from a tree is an example of a force.

Front

What happens to an object's motion when a net force is applied?

Back

The object's motion will change, either accelerating or decelerating depending on the direction of the force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
