MOMENTUM Flashcards
commonly used term in sports.
MOMENTUM
If an object is in motion (on the move) then it has
MOMENTUM
It refers to the quantity of motion that an object has.
MOMENTUM
Newton’s First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)
An object will remain at rest or in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
can be defined as “mass in motion.”
Momentum
The momentum of an object depends upon the object’s
how muchobjectis moving (mass) and; how fast theobjectis moving (velocity).
states that For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.
The law of conservation of momentum
sum of the momenta
