1
New cards

momentum

inertia in motion the product of mass and the velocity of an object

2
New cards

joule

SI unit of work and energy

3
New cards

collision

an event where one object makes contact with another object there are two types elastic and inelastic

4
New cards

law of conservation

in the absence of an external force the momentum of a system remains unchanged hence the momentum before an event involving only internal forces is equal to the momentum after the event

5
New cards

energy

ability to do work and that which that can change the condition of matter

6
New cards

work

produce of the force on an object and the distance through which the object is moves measured in joules

7
New cards

elastic collision

collision in which colliding objects rebound without lasting deformation or heat generation

8
New cards

kinetic energy

for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction

9
New cards

iconoclastic collision

collision in which the colliding objects become distorted and or generate heat during the collision and possibly stick together and become one mass after the collision

10
New cards

potential energy

energy of position usually related to the relative position of two things

11
New cards

impulse

product of force and the time interval during which the force acts

12
New cards

law of conservation of energy

the law of or principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed but it may be transformed form one form into another but the total amount of energy never changes

13
New cards

kinetic energy

energy of motion equal to half the mass multiplied by the speed squared

14
New cards

relationship of impulse and momentum

the pule is equal to the charge in the momenta of the object that the impils acts upon
