Momentum and Impulse Flashcards
Momentum
The product of an object's mass and its velocity
Impulse
The product of the resultant/net force acting on an object and the time the net force acts on the object
A closed (isolated) system
It is a system on which the resultant/net external force is zero
Elastic collision
It is a collision in which the total momentum and total kinetic energy is conserved
Inelastic collision
It is a collision in which the total momentum and total kinetic energy is not conserved
State the principle of conservation of linear momentum
The total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant (is conserved)
