physic chapter 4 (momentum) Flashcards
what is mass and weight?
mass is defined as the quantity of matter in a body.
what are weight measured on?
newton(9.8)
what is the factor that would affect the amount of momentum?
the mass of an object and the velocity of the object(mxv=p)
what is the factor that would affect the amount of momentum?
the mass of an object and the velocity of the object(mxv=p)
definition of momentum
momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object
resultant force are equal to?
the rate of change of momentum
resulant force=?
change in momentum/time(all the force added up together)
what is impulse?
impulse calculate the change of momentum
what is the law of conservation of momentum
the total momentum before and after an event is always equal
what is circular motion?
objects in circular motion are always changing direction and therefore always changing velocity.
how to calculate a centripetal force?
centripetal force always act perpendicular with the force.(a centripetal force is a specific example of a resultant force)
