Module 3 - NLoM and Momentum (NLoM) Flashcards
What is Newtons First Law of Motion
An object will stay at rest or in constant linear motion, unless acted upon by an external force
What is Newtons Second Law of Motion
The resultant force acting on an object is directly proportional to the rate of change of its momentum, and is in the same direction
What is Newtons Second Law of motion assuming a constant mass
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on it
What is Newtons Third Law of motion
When two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces of the same type on each other
What is meant by linear momentum
The product of the mass and velocity of an object
True/False, momentum is a vector, and if it does explain the direction it takes
True
- The direction of momentum is equal to the direction of the objects velocity
What is the equation for the net force
(mv - mu)/ t
What is meant by the impulse of a force
the change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of timeW
What is the area under a force time graph equal to
The impulse
