equilibrium and momentum Flashcards
1
Q
What is torque?
A
Torque = F * radius sin theta
Radius is the distance from the fulcrum to the force applied
2
Q
What is impulse?
A
Change in momentum due to a net force
impulse = delta p = F * delta t
3
Q
What is momentum?
A
p = mv = F*t
4
Q
Force in terms of momentum?
A
mv/t = p/t
5
Q
Elastic collision
A
both KE and momentum are conserved
6
Q
inelastic collision
A
only momentum is conserved,
KE is converted to internal energy = 1/2m1v1 ^2 + 1/2m2v2^2 > 1/2(m1+m2)vf^2
