Force and Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
Equation for momentum
A
P=mass x velocity
2
Q
State the principle of conservation of momentum
A
For a system of interacting objects the total momentum remains constant, providing no external resultant forecasts on the system
3
Q
What us conservation of momentum
A
Momentum before = momentum after
4
Q
What is impulse
A
The force x time for which a force acts
5
Q
A totally inelastic collision
A
A collision where the colliding objects stick together
6
Q
A partially inelastic collision
A
A collision where the colliding objects move apart, and have less kinetic energy after than before he collision
