momentum Flashcards
1
Q
momentum
A
property all moving objects have. greater mass of object, more momentum.
2
Q
momentum equation
A
Mass x Velocity
3
Q
Conservation of momentum
A
Momentum Before= Momentum After
Total momentum before an event is same after the event, this is known as conservation of momentum
4
Q
Forces cause change
A
when resultant force acts on object, causes change in momentum.
Resultant force on object cause it to accelerate.
Acceleration is just change in velocity over time
This means:
F=((MV-MU(change in momentum))/Time
