Momentum
P = mv
P = momentum
M = mass
V = velocity
Conservation of Momentum (CoP)
momentum of a system is conserved
You call the cops for a collision
Explosion
Object starts as one and then separates into several pieces
(Ma + Mb)Vbefore = (MaVa + MbVb)after
Elastic Collision
A collision where no heat is generated, perfect bounce, no deformation.
(MaVa + MbVb)before = (MaVa + MbVb)after
Inelastic Collision
A collision where heat is generated.
To decipher between elastic and inelastic, caclulate KE before and after. If equal → ELASTIC
