Unit 4- Newton's Laws And Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s Second Law
A
Rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the net force acting on it and takes place in the direction of that force
2
Q
Newton’s Third Law
A
When one body exerts a force on another the other body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body
3
Q
Linear momentum
A
Mass x Velocity
4
Q
Principle of conservation of linear momentum
A
Total momentum is conserved for a closed system
5
Q
Elastic Collision
A
Collision in which kinetic energy is conserved
6
Q
Inelastic collision
A
Collision in which there is some loss of kinetic energy during the collision
7
Q
Impulse of a force
A
Force x time for which the force acts
8
Q
Newton’s First Law
A
A body will remain at rest or continue to move with constant velocity unless acted upon by a force
