Write a CER (claim, evidence, reasoning) based off of newton's laws of motion, write a claim about the collision of two objects that have different masses. Support your answer with scientific evidence. Then state your reasoning on how your scientific evidence supports your claim. Your response should be 3-5 sentences long, write in full sentences.

Answer 1

Claim: In a collision between two objects with different masses, the object with the greater mass will experience a smaller change in velocity compared to the object with the smaller mass.

Evidence: According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma). When two objects collide, the force exerted during the impact causes a change in momentum. The momentum (defined as mass times velocity) of the system is conserved; therefore, the smaller mass will experience a greater change in velocity to conserve overall momentum.

Reasoning: This evidence supports my claim because it demonstrates that the acceleration (and thus the change in velocity) is inversely proportional to mass for a given force applied during the collision. As the mass of one object increases, its acceleration (and change in velocity) must decrease to maintain the balance of forces described by Newton's laws, resulting in the smaller mass moving away from the collision with a greater change in velocity.

Answer 2

Turn all of that into 4 sentences

Answer 3

Claim: In a collision between two objects with different masses, the object with the greater mass will experience a smaller change in velocity compared to the object with the smaller mass. According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma), meaning that for a given force, a larger mass results in smaller acceleration. In a collision, the momentum of the system is conserved; thus, the smaller mass will experience a greater change in velocity to maintain this conservation. Therefore, the evidence supports the claim, as the larger mass's greater inertia leads to less change in velocity during the collision.

Answer 4

Simplify the CER into 4 sentences in paragraph form

Answer 5

In a collision between two objects with different masses, the object with the greater mass will experience a smaller change in velocity compared to the object with the smaller mass. According to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), a larger mass results in smaller acceleration for a given force. Since momentum is conserved during the collision, the smaller mass will have a greater change in velocity. Thus, the larger mass's greater inertia leads to less change in velocity after the collision.
