linear momentum
the product of mass and velocity, a vector quantity denoted by p: p = mv
impulse
product of force and the time during which is denoted by J: J = FΔt
impulse-momentum theorem
impulse that is delivered on an object is equal to its change in momentum
elastic collision
the combined kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This often results in the objects bouncing off each other in opposite directions
inelastic collision
the combined kinetic energy is not conserved. Results in the objects traveling in the same direction after the collision
perfectly inelastic collision
inelastic collision where the objects stick together after colliding. Results in the highest kinetic energy loss
