Linear kinetics Flashcards
The greater the mass of an object or the faster it
moves, the___ the momentum
greater
What is linear momentum?
product of objects mass and isntantaneous linear velocity
what is momentum porportional to?
linear velocity
What is the conservation of momentum principle - what is this used in the study of?
Total momentum of a system of objects is constant if the ΣF = 0
- used in study of collisions
wht is elasticity of collisions determined by?
coeffciient of resititution (e)
what is the coeff of resitution defined as?
ratio of the relative velocity after vs. before a collision
what is the range of e?
0-1
What is e in a perfecttly elastic collision? what does this mean?
perfectly elastic = 1 - objects collide and bounc off eachother - KE is conserved - m1v1)i + (m2v2)i = (m1v1)f + (m2v2)f
What is e in a perfectly inelastic collision? What does this mean? ecample?
0, obejcts collide, stay together and moce together - combined momentumm still conserved but KE is lost - football players colliding mdiair
m1v1)i + (m2v2)i = (m1 + m2)vf
so in a closed system momentum is conserved in all collisions but ______ is not
kinetic energy
what type of realtionship does newtons second law describe?
cause-and-effect relationship
Newtons first law is a spcial case of the seocnd law? why?
becuase its when ΣF = 0, so a = 0
Newton’s Second Law (ΣF = ma) gives the net
external force or acceleration at ____ however we are more interesting in final outcome of forces over ___
an instant in time, a period of time
a ___ will cause a change in the objet momemtnum according to newtons second law
impulse
Impulse to increase momentum? how do we max velcoity in sports? incrae average for or time it is applied? for light objects ____ is more important and for heavy objects ___ is more improtant?
- we try to increase the average net
force and/or the time it is applied
technique (Δt; duration of force application) is most
important with light objects
– strength (ΣF; force that can be applied) is more
important with heavy objects
