Mass, Momentum, Impulse, and Collission Flashcards
Defines as the point where the whole weight of the object seems to act.
Center of mass
Refers to an object’s measurement
Center of geometry
Mass in motion or inertia in motion
Momentum
Momentum is dependent upon ___ and ___.
Mass, velocity
It is the product of mass and velocity
Linear momentum
The higher the momentum, the higher the ___ needed.
Effort
READ ONLY
Velocity changes when both mass remains unchanged.
It is the product of force applied on the body multiplied by time.
Impulse
For impulse,
A long period of time causes a ___ impact.
Small
READ ONLY
The impulse given to an object is equal to the change in momentum of an object.
What is conserved in collision?
Momentum
Before, during, and after collision, the total momentum of the colliding objects is ___.
Unchanged
What are the two types of collision?
Elastic and inelastic
There is a movement before and after collision while the total kinetic energy remains constant.
Elastic collision
The total kinetic energy is not the same before and after because after collision, the energy transforms and the objects stick together that they become one mass.
Inelastic collision
