Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
Momentum
A
the product of an object’s mass and velocity
2
Q
Newtons 2nd in terms of momentum
A
the net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum (delta p) of the object in the direction of the net force
3
Q
Impulse
A
the product of the resultant force acting on an object and the time
4
Q
Isolated System
A
a system on which the resultant/net external force is 0
5
Q
The Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum
A
The total linear momentum of an isolated system is conserved
6
Q
Elastic Collision
A
A collision in which the total kinetic energy is conserved
