Momentum And Impulse Flashcards
1
Q
Momentum
A
Product of mass and velocity of the object
2
Q
Newton’s second law in terms of momentum
A
The net force acting in an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum
3
Q
Law of conservation of linear momentum
A
The Total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant (is conserved )
4
Q
Elastic collision
A
A collision in which both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved
5
Q
In elastic collision
A
A collision in which only momentum is conserved
6
Q
Impulse
A
The product of the ent force and the contact time
Same as change of momentum
