1.6 Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
Define momentum
A
The quantity of motion of a moving body, as a product of its mass and velocity.
2
Q
What is the formula for momentum
A
mass times velocity
3
Q
What is impulse
A
Change in momentum, a product of force and time
4
Q
What is the law of conservation of momentum
A
When two objects collide in an isolated system, the total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after collision.
5
Q
Define resultant force
A
Change in momentum per unit time
6
Q
What is the formula for resultant force
A
Change in momentum/ change in time
