Momentum and Impulse Flash Cards
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1What is the equation of momentum?Momentum = mv
- 2What is the conservation of momentum?Total momentum of all objects before = total momentum of all objects after. (TMB = TMA)
- 3What is an elastic collision?A collision in which both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
- 4What is an inelastic collision?A collision in which only momentum is conserved.
- 5What is the vector nature of momentum?Direction is important, momentum to the right has a positive sign and momentum to the left has a negative sign.
- 6What is the equation for impulse?Ft = mv - mu
- 7What does the term Ft mean?Ft stands for impulse and is equal to the change in momentum.
- 8What is Newton's 3rd law?This law states that if an object A exerts a force on object B then object B will exert and equal and opposite force on object A.
