1

Elastic Collision

A collision where kinetic energy is conserved along with linear momentum.

New cards
2

Inelastic Collision

A collision where kinetic energy is not conserved, but linear momentum is conserved.

New cards
3

Conservation of Linear Momentum

The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

New cards
4

Kinetic Energy Conservation

In elastic collisions, the total kinetic energy before colliding is equal to the total kinetic energy after.

New cards
5

Projectile Motion

A two-dimensional motion of an object under the influence of gravitational force only.

New cards
6

Time of Flight

The time taken by a projectile to go from the point of projection to the point of impact.

New cards
7

Range of a Projectile

The horizontal displacement of a projectile from the point of projection to the point of impact.

New cards
8

Gravitational Acceleration

The acceleration of a freely falling body due to gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s².

New cards
9

Isolated System

A system where the total external force acting on it is zero.

New cards
10

Linear Momentum

The quantity of motion possessed by a body, calculated as the product of mass and velocity (P=mv).
