NGSS.MS-PS3-5

the ability to do work

• speed

• work

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

a push or pull that can make an object move, stop moving, or chance direction

• kinetic engery

• elastic collision

• force

• speed

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS2-2

the rate at which an object moves or operates. Speed can be thought of as the amount of time it takes to complete the task

• speed

• force

• energy

• work

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

a result of force moving an object a certain distance

• energy

• force

• work

• collision

energy that is stored, energy that matter has because of its position

• inelastic collision

• elastic collision

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-2

energy that an object has because of its motion

• prototype

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

• work

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

a collision with no loss of kinetic energy

• inelastic collision

• elastic collision

• kinetic engery

• potential energy

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

a collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed into another form of energy. Inelastic collision may result in objects "sticking together" such as when a large truck collides with a small car and pushes it over a distance

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• elastic collision

• inelastic collision
