momentum
P the units are N*S
acceleration
m/s^2
velocity
m/s
newtons to pounds
4.45N/lb
power
w/t w=newtons*distance
order
change in momentum
initial momentum/momentum
momentum after impact
final velocity
WCIMFINI
when the speed of an object doubles its momentum…
doubles
newtons third law
whenever one object exerts force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object
momentum before and after
momentum before firing is 0…after firing the net momentum is still 0
the law of conservation of matter
in the absence of an external force, the momentum of a system remains unchanged
elastic collisions
- when objects collide without being permanently deformed
- the sum of the momentum is the same before and after each collision
inelastic collisions
- colliding objects become distorted during the collision
- momentum conservation remains true
totally elastic collision
whenever colliding objects become tangled or couple together
