Linear Momentum Flashcards
momentum can be defined as
mass in motion
all objects have
mass
so if an object is moving, it has what
momentum, it has its mass in motion
what two variables does the amount of momentum an object has depend upon
how much stuff is moving & how fast the stuff is moving i.e. its mass and velocity
if a bus has a large mass but is very slow, it has a
large momentum
if a car has a smaller mass but moves at a higher speed, it has a
large momentum as well biatch
the linear momentum of a body (no not a literal body) is
the products of its mass and velocity
momentum
mass x velocity/ p= mv
unit of momentum
kgms^-1
momentum of 60kg football at speed 9ms^-1
p=mv
p=60x9
p=540kgms^-1
practise the other ex we did plsssss
ask if u need ans or explanations for some
in a collision, an object experiences
a force for a given amount of time, resulting in its mass undergoing a change in velocity (ie which results in a momentum change)
Linear momentum from newton’s 2nd law
F=ma
F=m(v-u)/t
F=(mv-mu)/t
the force applied is equal to
the change in momentum divided by time
Force=
rate of change of momentum
