unit 8 momentum Flashcards
the more momentum an object has …..
the more force is required to change its motion
impulse
change in momentum
F=
m(vf-vi/t)
the rate of change of momentum of an object is equal to….
the net force applied to an object
what is the only way for momentum to not be conserved?
when there is an external net force applied
angular momentum
the momentum of a rotating object
angular momentum equation
L=IW
what is the only way angular momentum won’t be conserved
if there is a net external torque applied
inelastic collision
where 2 objects collide with each other and don’t stick together and have some permanent deformations
perfectly inelastic collision
where 2 objects collide, stick together and have some permanent deformations
elastic collision
when 2 objects collide, bounce off each other but have no permanent deformations
