Q

If momentum has direction, what happens to the forces in a collision?

A

There is one direction, so one object will have a negative momentum.

Q

What is a moment?

A

The turning force that acts on the pivot.

17
Q

How do you calculate a moment?

A

Moment = force x distance to the pivot

M=fd

18
Q

What are the units for a moment?

A

Nm

19
Q

What is the principle of moments?

A

sum of clockwise moments = sum of anticlockwise moments.

20
Q

What does it mean if both sides are balanced?

A

That the system is balanced, at equilibrium.

21
Q

What is the equation for kinetic energy?

A

KE = mv² / 2

This is used to calculate the KE before and after an interaction.
