New cards

Conserving Momentum

The total momentum of a system before and after an interaction remains constant.

2
New cards

Conserving Angular Momentum

If a system is isolated, then the angular momentum of the system remains constant, Li = Lf.

3
New cards

Impulse-Momentum Theorem

The change in momentum of a system is equal to the net external impulse acting on it.

4
New cards

Elastic Collision

A collision in which the total kinetic energy is conserved.

5
New cards

Inelastic Collision

A collision in which the total kinetic energy is not conserved.
