Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
If a moving car hits another object what will happen?
It will change direction
It will not be affected
It will bounce very high in the air
It will change direction
If a moving car hits another object it will change the car's direction. When two things collide their direction can be changed based on the impact.
Example Question #1 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
What does it mean if two objects collide? Example: The car collided with the street sign.
To come together, to hit or crash together
Draw or write a plan for something
Find an answer to a problem
To come together, to hit or crash together
To collide means to come together, to hit or to crash together. If two objects collide they are running into each other. In the example sentence the car collided with a street sign, this means the car hit the street sign.
Example Question #2 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
What is the direction of an object?
Using science to solve a problem for people
How strong something is
The path an object travels
The path an object travels
The direction of an object is the path that object travels. The direction can be described as moving straight, left, right, or backward. We can also say that an object is moving North, South, East, or West. There are also other ways to describe an object's direction.
Example Question #2 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
Angel rolls a toy car down a wooden ramp. If left alone to roll will the car change directions?
No, the car will keep rolling straight.
You can't predict what the car will do.
Yes, the car will move to the left or right.
No, the car will keep rolling straight.
The car will not change directions on the ramp unless something were to collide or interfere with it. If another moving object were to hit the car then it would change directions. If left along the car will keep steering straight ahead.
Example Question #3 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
At recess the class plays kickball. Ann rolls the ball to Matt and he kicks the ball. It flies left. Why?
A change in color
A change in speed
A change in direction
A change in direction
The ball was rolling straight to Matt and would have kept rolling that way but it was hit by Matt's foot. When the ball hit Matt's foot the force and movement changed the direction of the ball. When two objects collide the force can cause a change in direction. It will move in the direction of the force being applied.
Example Question #4 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
What direction would the yellow car move when hit?
Downward
Forward
Backward
Forward
The yellow car would move forward when hit. The red car would push the yellow car from behind and it would continue moving forward in the direction it is facing. The force of the crash would push the yellow car forward.
Example Question #5 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
If someone crashed their car into a wall the wall would "push" back against the car. What would happen to the motion of the car?
The car would turn to the left.
The car would stop.
The car would keep going.
The car would stop.
If a car were to crash into a wall the car would stop. The wall would "push" back on the car and change its direction. Rather than continue driving straight the car would come to a stop because of the force of the wall.
Example Question #6 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
If an object stops moving that is a change in direction.
True
False
True
This is a true statement. A stop of motion is a change in direction. The object was moving on a set path until it was interrupted by something and the path was changed. A stop in movement is a change of direction.
Example Question #3 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
When the archer lets go of the bow, what direction will the arrow go?
Forward
Up
Backward
Forward
The arrow will continue on a forward and straight path unless something else enters its path. It will continue straight until it is stopped by another object or gravity.
Example Question #1 : Change Direction Of A Push Or Pull
What will happen to the toy train's movement if the child puts a stack of books in front of it?
The train will stop.
The train will roll through the books.
The train will roll over the books.
The train will stop.
The train will stop moving when it reaches the pile of books. An object stopping when its path is interrupted is a change of direction. Changes in direction can be a stop, or something moving on a different path than it started on.
