Impulse

force acting on an object over a period of time (I = F x t)

2
New cards

Impulse-momentum theorem

The impulse acting on an object is equal to its’ change in momentum

3
New cards

Momentum

The product of the mass and velocity of an object

4
New cards

Average force in Impulse

The impulse is equal to the average force multiplied by the time interval (p = Fav x t)

5
New cards

Conservation of linear momentum

The total momentum in an isolated system will remain constant (m1i v1i + m2i v2i = m1f v1f + m2f v2f)

6
New cards

Collision

The result of physical contact between two objects

7
New cards

Elastic collision

A collision where the total kinetic energy and momentum of an object is conserved

8
New cards

An isolated system

A system where no external forces have an influence on objects in the system

9
New cards

Inelastic collision

A collision where the total kinetic energy of an object is not conserved while the momentum of the object is.
