linear momentum
mass in motion; measures how hard it is to stop a moving object
vector
linear momentum is a ___ quantity
directly proportional
mass and velocity are ___ to momentum
impulse-momentum theorem
alternative version of Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
impulse
product of force and time; “follow through” in sports
conservation of momentum
if mass and velocity values remain the same the momentum will be constant
law of momentum conservation
in a closed and isolated system, the total momentum of the objects are equal before and after collision
system
collection of objects that affect one another
vector sum
in a system of several bodies, the momentum is the ___ of all the momentum of bodies
change in momentum
equal to the impulse of force it experiences
newton’s 3rd law of motion
law of conservation of momentum is related to
0
if unbalanced force is _ the total momentum is maintained
maintained
the momentum of a system is ___ if it is left alone
