A table with 2 columns and 2 rows. The left column is labeled Before and the right column is labeled After. The first row is labeled Crash 1. Row 1, Column 1 contains an asteroid moving toward a moon. The moon is labeled Gray Moon: Less Mass; Moving 6 kilometers per second. Row 1, Column 2 contains a moon labeled Gray Moon: Moving 8 kilometers per second (sped up by 2 kilometers per second). The second row is labeled Crash 2. Row 2, Column 1 contains an asteroid moving toward a planet. The planet is labeled Brown Planet: More Mass; Moving 6 kilometers per second. Row 2, Column 2 contains a planet labeled Brown Planet: Moving 8 kilometers per second (sped up by 2 kilometers per second).
Scientists created models that show a rocky asteroid crashing into a moon (less mass) and a planet (more mass). In both crashes, the asteroid was the same mass. Scientists want to know what happened to the asteroid. Use the information in the diagram to answer.
In which crash did the asteroid experience a stronger force? How do you know?
Responses
Crash 2; the force on the planet was stronger in this crash, so the force on the asteroid was also stronger.
Crash 2 ; the force on the planet was stronger in this crash, so the force on the asteroid was also stronger.
There was no force on the asteroid. Only the moon and planet experienced a force in each crash.

The diagram doesn’t tell you anything about the force on the asteroid. It only gives information about the force on the planet and the moon.

The force was the same in both crashes. The planet and moon changed speed by the same amount so that means the force on the asteroid was the same in both crashes.
The force was the same in both crashes . The planet and moon changed speed by the same amount so that means the force on the asteroid was the same in both crashes.
