1
Momentum
The product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing the quantity of motion an object possesses.
New cards
2
Impulse
The change in momentum resulting from a force applied over a period of time.
New cards
3
Force
An interaction that changes the motion of an object, expressed as mass times acceleration (F = ma).
New cards
4
Collision
An event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other for a relatively short time.
New cards
5
Elastic Collision
A collision in which kinetic energy is conserved before and after the event.
New cards
6
Inelastic Collision
A collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved, and some energy is converted to other forms.
New cards
7
Explosion
A rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, often involving a forceful expansion.
New cards
8
Conservation
The principle that in a closed system, certain properties like momentum remain constant over time.
New cards
9
What is momentum?
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.
New cards
10
What kinds of objects have momentum?
Any object that is moving, regardless of its mass.
New cards
11
How can you change momentum? (two answers)
By changing the object's mass or its velocity.
New cards
12
What are the units of momentum?
Kilogram meters per second (kg·m/s).
New cards
13
What is impulse?
Impulse is the product of the force applied and the time duration over which it is applied.
New cards
14
What is the difference between “impulse” and “change in momentum?”
Impulse is the mechanism that changes momentum; they are equal in value but represent different concepts.
New cards
15
What are units of impulse?
Newton-seconds (N·s) or kilogram meters per second (kg·m/s).
New cards
16
How can you maximize the impulse/change in momentum? (two answers)
By increasing the force applied or extending the duration of time that the force is applied.
New cards
17
What is the relationship between impulse and time of impact?
Impulse increases with longer time of impact, allowing for a smaller force.
New cards
18
What is the relationship between impulse and force of impact?
Impulse increases with greater force applied over the same time period.
New cards
19
Why are large, fast objects harder to stop than small, slow objects?
They have greater momentum due to their larger mass and/or velocity.
New cards
20
What does it mean to say that momentum is conserved in a system?
The total momentum of a closed system remains constant before and after interactions, like collisions.
New cards
21
When two pool balls in an isolated system collide, what happens to overall momentum?
The overall momentum of the system remains the same.
New cards
22
Name three real world things that reduce momentum over a long period of time.
Airbags, crumple zones in cars, and safety nets.
New cards
23
Why does a player follow through with their swing?
To maximize the impulse delivered to the ball, increasing its momentum.
New cards
24
Why do airplanes need such a long landing strip/runway?
To reduce speed gradually and safely dissipate momentum.
New cards
25
Explain why turning off the Titanic's engines wouldn't have avoided a collision with the iceberg.
Without propulsion, the ship would continue moving forward due to its momentum, making it impossible to stop in time.
