Linear Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
Linear momentum
A
The product of mass & velocity
Newton’s 2nd Law
2
Q
Impulse
A
The product of force & time during which it acts
3
Q
Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum
A
In an isolated system, the total linear momentum will remain constant
4
Q
Elastic collision
A
In an isolated system, momentum & kinetic energy are conserved
5
Q
Inelastic collision
A
Momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not
6
Q
Perfectly or totally inelastic collision
A
Momentum is conserved, kinetic energy is not & objects stick together
