KE, PE, COLLISION, IMPULSE REVIEW 10/24/13 Flashcards
Is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity
Momentum
Is the energy of an object in motion
Kinetic
States that the total amount of momentum in a closed system cannot change
Conservation of momentum
Is a collision of an object with another object that bounces off and doesn’t loose energy
Elastic
Is a collision of an object with another object that changes the other objects shape and sticks to it while losing some energy
Inelastic
Is the instantaneous push that will change an objects momentum
Impulse
Is the energy of an object that is stored or due to its position above ground
Potential energy
Is the unit of energy that is needed to push with a force of one newton over a distance of one meter
Joule
Is the measured change in kinetic energy
Work
States that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Newton’s third law
Is the masterminded scientist that made the first liquid powered rocket in 1926
Goddard
Is the masterminded scientist that made the first controllable rocket that made into space
