Unit 6: Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
Momentum
A
The product’s mass and the product’s velocity (p=mv)
2
Q
Any change in momentum means the velocity changes
A
3
Q
Impulse ( J )
A
Product of the net force and the time it takes to apply the force
4
Q
J= F△T
A
5
Q
J=△p
A
F△t=△p=pfpi
6
Q
Elastic Collisions
A
“Ideal Collisions” objects rebound without loss of energy (momentum is conserved)
7
Q
Inelastic Collisions
A
Collisions where energy is lost in either heat, light, sound, etc.
