Understanding Thruster Forces and Pod Movement

What was the purpose of the 1.6 Amplify lesson activity?

• To model thruster forces on a pod

• To learn about space station docking

• To understand friction in space

• To calculate the speed of a pod

In Claim One, what was the issue with the thrusters?

• They were underactive

• They were overactive

• They were not functioning

• They were perfectly balanced

What happens to the pod when the thrusters are overactive?

• It continues at the same speed

• It slows down slightly

• It stops completely

• It moves in the opposite direction

What is the correct thruster force needed to stop a pod with medium velocity?

• No force is needed

• A small force in the same direction

• A large force in the same direction

• A medium force in the opposite direction

In Claim Two, how do the thrusters perform?

• They work perfectly

• They are overactive

• They do not work at all

• They are underactive

What is the result of underactive thrusters on the pod's movement?

• The pod stops immediately

• The pod moves faster

• The pod moves in the opposite direction

• The pod slows down but doesn't stop

What was not considered in the modeling of Claim Two?

• The direction of the pod

• The force from the thrusters

• The speed of the pod

• Collisions with the space station

How was the quiz graded?

• On a scale of 1 to 3

• On a scale of 1 to 4

• On a scale of 1 to 2

• On a scale of 1 to 5

What would result in a score of 1 on the quiz?

• Completing all parts correctly

• Not turning in claim two

• Making one or two mistakes

• Using the wrong model

What should students do if they have questions about the modeling tool?

• Ask the teacher

• Wait for the next quiz

• Ignore them

• Guess the answers
