Linear Momentum

Linear Momentum

the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity

momentum and friction

give something momentum and it runs out because of the friction force. In interstellar space, it will keep moving until the end of time in the same velocity and same momentum because there is no external force to stop it

force is

the time rate of change of linear momentum

for momentum (vector stuff)

linear impulse

the quantity of force times time is linear impulse

look into slowing impulse

slow impulse

make delta T longer

change of direction impulse

check slide

conservation of linear impulse (two bodies)

the amount of momentum in the systems before and after the collision is the same, but some of it is transferred from one body to the other

conservation of linear impulse eq

conservation of linear momentum on;y applies when

no external impulse is acting on the system
