New cards
Momentum
It obeys superposition such that the net momentum of a collection of objects is the vector sum of the momentum of each object
3
New cards
Linear momentum
A vector parallel to velocity

6
New cards
elastic collision
In this collision, kinetic energy is conserved.
7
New cards
inelastic collision
In this collision , kinetic energy is not conserved.
8
New cards
totally inelastic collision
In this collision, kinetic energy is also not conserved, and the two objects remain stuck together after the collision.
