Question

challenge (required)
you are now being tasked to create your own claim for a thinking map. please respond to the following prompt by putting a claim (answer to the question) in the top bubble, evidence that supports this claim in the two bottom bubbles, and reasoning in the lines that connect your claim and evidence. you may pull evidence from any activity or reading we have done in the class, but the purple, green, and blue 2.4 activities should provide plenty of evidence.
prompt: what are forces like in a collision of objects with different mass?
claim: in a collision both objects experience the same magnitude of force, but in opposite directions.
evidence physics experiments measure collision forces show equal and opposite forces
evidence real - life collision observations show the claim

Explanation:

Newton's third - law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In a collision between objects of different masses, this law applies. Physics experiments and real - life observations verify this principle.

Answer:

Claim: In a collision both objects experience the same magnitude of force, but in opposite directions.
Evidence 1: Physics experiments measure collision forces show equal and opposite forces.
Evidence 2: Real - life collision observations show the claim.
