1
New cards

momentum

linear momentum of an object of mass moving with a velocity is defined as the product of the mass and velocity

2
New cards

impulse

time rate of change of momentum of an object is equal to the net force acting on it

3
New cards

impulse momentum theorem

the impulse acting on an object is equal to the change in momentum of an object

4
New cards

elastic collisions

both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved

5
New cards

conservation of momentum

momentum is an isolated system in which collision occurs is conserved

6
New cards

types of collisions

elastic and inelastic collisions

7
New cards

inelastic collisions

when two objects stick together after a collision
