Momentum&Collision
Chapter 6
Question | Answer |
---|---|
2 or more objects hit each other | collision |
2 objects hit each other and bounce off | perfectly elastic |
2 object hit each other and stick together | perfectly inelastic |
this is conserved in all collisions | momentum |
SI units for momentum | kg * m/s |
For every force there is an equal and opposite force | 3rd law of motion |
this is only conserved in perfectly elastic collisions | kinetic energy |
states that momentum is conserved in all collisions (closed systems) | law of conservation of momentum |
heat, sound, deformation | lost energy during inelastic collision |
force times change in time | impulse |
ties your momentum to the car's momentum | seat belts |
increases the time of impact to lower the force of impact | air bags |
SI unit for impulse | N * s |
Formula for momentum | p = mv |
momentum of object that is not moving | zero |
SI unit for Force | Newtons [N] |
SI unit for time | seconds |
an object in motion tends to stay in motion until acted on by net force | 1st law of motion |
