Moments and Momentum Flashcards
What is the equation for moments?
Moment = Force x Distance
M = F d
Define law of moment
Sum of all anti-clockwise moments around a point are equal to all the sum of all the clockwise moments about a point
What is the equation for momentum?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity
p = m x v
Define impulse
Change in momentum
What is the equation for impulse?
Change in momentum = mass x change in velocity
p = m x (Vf-Vi)
Impulse = Force x Time
F t = m v
F = m(Vf-Vi)/t
What is the formula for the collision of 2 objects (2 -> 1)?
(m1 Vi1) + (m2 vi2) = (m1 + m2)Vf
What is the formula for the collision of 2 objects (1 -> 2)?
(m1 + m2)Vi = (m1 Vf1) + (m2 Vf2)
What is the formula for the collision of 2 objects (2 -> 2)?
(m1 Vi1) + (m2 Vi2) = (m1 Vf1) + (m2 Vf2)
