momentum and impulse Flashcards
1
Q
what are the implications of resultant force?
A
small acceleration
2
Q
what is momentum?
A
the quantity of motion a body possesses
3
Q
what is the momentum of a static object?
A
0 kg.m/s
4
Q
what is conservation of momentum?
A
when there’s no external forces acting on the system, the total momentum will remain constant
5
Q
what is impulse?
A
the produce of the force applied and the time over which that force is applied
6
Q
what is the impulse-momentum relationship?
A
the amount of impulse applied to an object will directly determine its change in momentum
7
Q
how can impulse be calculated from a graph?
A
by using the area under the graph
