Collision
when 2 objects run into each other
Damage
a permanent change in shape
Variable
something you can change to affect the results of an experiment
Force
a push or a pull, measured by Newtons (N)
Kinetic Energy

Deform
a change in shape- can be temporary or permanent
Independent Variable
the variable that YOU change. This is the “cause”
Dependent Variable
the variable that you observe and measure. This is the “effect”.
Controlled Variable (Control)
The variables that are kept constant in an experiment
Line of Best Fit
The straight line connecting points on a graph- shows the average results
Elastic Limit
The farthest an object can bend before it becomes permanently deformed
Breaking Point
The point during bending where an object breaks
Peak Force
The maximum amount of force during a collision
Newton’s Law 3
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Number of different types of collisions
