Wk 5 - Linear Kinetics, work, power and energy Flashcards
Momentum is a….?
quantity of motion
The opposite of momentum is ____
inertia
Will someone with larger mass always overrun the smaller mass person when they collide?
No. They have and advantage but the velocity also affects it.
Can there be a conservation of momentum?
Yes (e.g. the metal ball bouncing demonstration)
Absolute total conservation of energy is when …?
No energy is lost through transfer -> last forever
Impulse = _____ x _____
Impulse = Force x time
The area under a force-time curve is called the ____
impulse
_________ = change in momentum
Impulse
What are the two theoretical types of impact?
1) perfectly elastic
2) perfectly plastic
Perfectly elastic means…
velocities of impact before and after impact are equal -> never loses energy
Perfectly plastic means…
Object doesn’t return to original shape after impact
The coefficient of restitution (-e) is a number reflecting…
The rebound properties of the object
If there is no rebound in an object, the e = ??
e = 0
If there is perfect rebound in an object, the e = ??
e = 1
e = √hb / hd (interpret)
e = √ of velocity before and after hitting the ground
