Impulse + Momentum + Redtituion Flashcards
Impulse = ?
Force x time
Or change in momentum
Remember impulse is conserved, how to see what direction impulse applied in
Just what direction you took as positive, look in that direction to apply impulse
So tension string will apply impulse to bith bodies, but one negative
Use common sensne
Restitution coeffeicmt
Formula for speed of separation?
Speed of separation / speed of approach
Speed of separation = vb - va
Speed of approach how to work out?
Same direction = big - small
Opposite directions = add
Relative voelcities?
Just do vaB = va - vb
Velocity a respect to b = velocity of a to earth - velocity b to the eart
Elastic collision?
Energy + resititon?
When energy conserved, and restriction is 1
If e = 0 what does that mean for motion of particles
It means that the velocities are the SAME after impact , they COALESCE AND MOVE TIGETHER
Remmeber you can use energy to find at velocities and thus find out rsritiuojs!
For min speeds needed to collide questions what must it be
The thing colliding MUST BE GREATER SPEED
