Momentum Flashcards
What is the equasion for momentum?
p = mv (mass x velocity)
When is momentum possitive or negative?
If an object is travelling to the left it has a negative momentum. If it is travelling to the right it has a possitive momentum.
What does magnitude refer to?
Magnitude refers to the size of a variable or quantity in this case an amount of mass.
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
Momentume befire = momentume after
How to calculate force from momentum
F = change in momentum

Time taken
What does hooke’s law state?
The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied, up to the limit of proportionality
What does it mean when an object is inelastically deformed?
It mesns that the object of stretched byeong its limits and will not go back to its original shape when the force is removed.
What is hook’s law equasion
F = k x e
(Force = Spring constant in newtons per metres (N/m) x extension (m))
