How does the speed an object is travling at affect its stopping disstance?
CannedTomatoes
An object's stopping distance is proportional to its speed, mass, and the force applied to slow it down.
A car is the best example of this:
Speed: The faster the car is moving, the further it takes to stop (given a car of the same weight, and the same force is applied on the brakes)
Mass: If the car was carrying a thousand pounds of bricks it would take longer to stop (given the same speed, and the same force applied on the brakes).
Force: If you lightly press the brakes, you will take longer to stop than if you slam on them (given the same speed, and same car mass)

If an object has an acceleration of 20 meters per second sqaured how fast will the object be travling after 3 seconds?
60 m/s
What is it called when something makes an object stop?
Stopping
Does the mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
How does mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
How can heat affect the state of an object?
Heat can affect the molecular composition of an object.
What two thing affect the acceleration of an object?
The force acting upon the object as well as the mass of the object. Both will affect the acceleration of the object.
What two things affect the level of an object acceleration?
The force acting upon the object as well as the mass of the object. Both will affect the acceleration of the object.
Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?
Circular motion would change the direction of an object but would not affect the object's speed.
What would happen if an immovable object got hit by an unstoppable force?
If the unstoppable object was smaller, then it would pierce a hole through the immovable object, not moving the object, and not stopping.
Does freezing affect the weight of an object?
No it does not, but it might affect the volume of the object (it might shrink or expand).
Can you able to see all of the forces that affect an object?
no,we can not see all the forces that affect an object.
Increasing the speed of an object does not affect that object's what?
mass
