Momentum
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| product of mass x velocity | momentum |
| SI units for momentum | kg*m/s |
| amount of matter an object has | mass |
| SI unit for mass | kg |
| amount of mass times gravity | weight |
| SI unit for weight | Newton |
| objects hit each other and bounce off one another | elastic collision |
| objects hit each other and stick together | inelastic collision |
| the change of momentum when force acts on an object for a specific unit of time | impulse |
| anything that can cause object to accelerate or be displaced | force |
| this is conserved in only elastic collisions | kinetic energy & total momentum |
| this is conserved in all collisions | total momentum |
| car safety feature that works by having you and the car share the same momentum | seat belts |
| car safety feature that works by increasing the time of impact to lessen the force | air bags |
| this states that total momentum is same before and after a collision in a closed system | law of conservation of momentum |
| ways that energy is lost in an inelastic collision | heat, sound, or deformation |
| tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion | inertia |
| Force = mass x acceleration | 2nd law of motion |
