Motion: momentum :)
for science.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Momentum | a vector measurement. |
| velocity. | speed of object. |
| Newtons 1st Law. | any object moving will continue moving unless it is interfered with. |
| elastic collision. | such as a super ball hitting and rebounding from the ground), no kinetic energy is lost. All of that energy is still in the object, so we say that energy was conserved. |
| Energy. | a scalar, not a vector, so a direction change doesn't matter. |
| inelastic collision. | some of the energy will be lost to heat or sound or light or some other energy. |
| rebounded. | the KE and momentum would be less. The total energy is the same, but the energy of the object did not remain the same. The energy of the object was not conserved, but the total energy was. |
| Conserving Momentum. | the momentum of an isolated object (or system of objects) is conserved. If the net force acting on an object is zero, then the linear momentum is constant. |
