1

Center of Mass

It is the location in space where a force that is applied to the system will make it move without tendency to rotate

New cards
2

Geometric center

On solving the center of mass of an object, the geometric center must be first located

New cards
3

Geometric center

It is also known as the physical center of the object

New cards
4
  1. The masses that constitutes objects of the system

  2. The location of the objects in arbitrary coordinate system

2 factors to determine center of mass

New cards
5

uniform composition (homogeneous)

A system that has ____, has its geometric center as its center of mass

New cards
6

force

When force is applied to the center of mass, the object as a system of particles moves in the direction of ____ without rotating

New cards
7

center of mass

No matter what the shape of the object, this helps understand the mechanism of force and motion of that object

New cards
8

Momentum

It is the product of mass and velocity

New cards
9

Momentum

Sometimes called inertia in motion

New cards
10

Momentum

It combines the idea of inertia and motion

New cards
11

kg m/s

Unit of Momentum

New cards
12

Impulse

It is the product of force that acts on a body at a given time

New cards
13

Newton seconds

Unit of Impulse

New cards
14

Impulse-Momentum Theorem

It states that when a force acts on the body it produces a change in momentum

New cards
15

Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum

It states that in an isolated system where the external net force is zero, the total momentum of the system is constant
