1
Q
Momentum
A
Product of the mass and velocity of the object
2
Q
Newtons 2nd law (in terms of momentum)
A
The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum
3
Q
Law conservation of linear momentum
A
The total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant

Q
Elastic collision
A
Collision in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved
5
Q
