New cards
Linear Momentum
Product of an object's mass and velocity
2
New cards
Law of Conservation of Momentum
The total momentum of an isolated system of objects remains constant
3
New cards
System
Set of objects chosen to study
4
New cards
Isolated System
A system in which the only forces are those between the objects in the system
5
New cards
Impulse
The change in momentum of an object after a collision
6
New cards
Elastic Collision
A collision in which the total kinetic energy is conserved before and after two objects collide
7
New cards
Inelastic Collision
A collision during which kinetic energy is not conserved
8
New cards
Completely Inelastic
A collision during which two objects stick together
9
New cards
Center of Gravity
The point at which gravity can be considered to act on a system/object
