7. Newton’s laws (3.5) Flashcards
Newton’s first law definition
An object will remain at rest or continue at constant velocity unless an external force acts on it.
Newton’s 2nd law definition:
The net force acting on an object is directly proportional to its rate of change of momentum, and is in the same direction.
Newton’ 3rd law definition
When two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other
Formula of momentum
p = mv
When is F = ma applicable?
When the body/system has a constant mass
What is the formula for force in terms of momentum?
F = delta p / delta t
What is the formula for impulse?
impulse = F x delta t
What is the area under a force-time graph equal to?
impulse
What is the principle of conservation of momentum?
For a system of interacting objects, the total momentum in a specified direction remains constant, as long as no external forces act on the system.
What is conserved in an elastic collision out of: KE, all E, p
all 3 are conserved
What is conserved in an inelastic collision out of: KE, all E, p
all E, and p are conserved.
KE is not conserved
You may be required to do 2D collision momentum calculations so look over that.
