Momentum & Impulse Flashcards
1
Q
Newtons third law
A
When object A exerts a force on object B, object B simultaneously exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on object A
2
Q
Linear momentum
A
The product of the mass and velocity of the object
3
Q
Newtons second law in terms of momentum
A
The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum
4
Q
Law of conservation of liner momentum
A
The total linear momentum of an isolate system remains constant
5
Q
Elastic Collison
A
A collision in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved
6
Q
Inelastic collision
A
A Collison in which only momentum is conserved
7
Q
Impulse
A
The product of the net force and the contact time
