What are the several basic forces in the universe?
What are some patterns to be found in collisions?
What are some factors and variables that might cause damage in a collision?
If you picked a collision, that caused damage, how would the interactions between the same objects have to change to not cause damage in a collision?
What are changes you can see and interactions you cannot see with a result in damage (in a collision)?
What are changes you can see and interactions you cannot see with a result in no damage (in a collision)?
What changes can we see in timepoint #2 (in a collision with damage)?
What are some changes we can see in timepoint #2 (in a collision with no damage)?
Investigation Ideas: COLLISION
Q: How does the applied force affect the damage of an object?
1. What did you notice about the motion or shape of colliding objects?
2. What challenges did you face?
3. How could we study collisions more easily?
4.
4. What patterns did you notice for change in "Changes in Shape? Did you always use changes in shape?
What might be causing the changes in motion and changes in shape of colliding objects.
Do you think applying any amount of force to any solid object would cause it to bend?
How could we design an investigation like the engineers did with the concrete beam test to figure out if any amount of force would cause any solid object to start bending or changing shape?
Sir Isaac Newton discovered three basic laws of motion. What are they?
8. According to the passage, in order for LeBron James to score a slam-dunk, what must he exert?
9. When LeBron James jumps, he is driving force into the court. How is this force created?
10. How does the example of LeBron James jumping to dunk a basketball illustrate Newton's Third Law of Motion? Use information from the passage to support your answer.
The question we want to answer:
How much do you have to push on any object to get it to deform (temporarily vs. permanently)?
How do you think the trends in your data will compare to groups that tested different beam thickness on a different material?
How much do you have to push on any object to get it to deform (temporarily or permanently)?
All Solids
Force Interactions
In each collision, what is doing the pushing and what is getting pushed?
In every case, how does the strength of the forces on each object compare?
How does changing the speed of a moving object before it collides with another object affect the forces on those objects during the collision?
