Momentum Flashcards
it is the force or speed of movement. It is the measure of a body’s moving inertia.
Momentum (p)
formula to compute the momentum?
p = mv
formula to compute the velocity?
v = p/m
is defined as an object or group of objects that is not interacting with the surroundings.
closed system
is oftentimes a very large varying force that occurs in a short span of time.
force of impact
is the product of the force of impact and the time that force is being applied
impulse (N * S)
it states that the impulse is equal to the change in momentum
impulse-momentum theory
it states that “the total momentum of a system does not change when there are no external forces acting on it”
law of conservation of momentum
if they have mass but they are not moving then the system would be equal to?
zero
a reaction to a force that accelerates a body forward
recoil
is an event when two or more separate bodies apply force on each other
collision
it is often shortened to an elastic collision where the kinetic energy of the system is completely conserved
perfectly elastic collision
when two bodies collide and the bodies stick to each other after colliding
perfectly inelastic collision
