Momentum

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Momentum   An object's ability to resist change in its motion. Equation- P=mv P- momentum m- mass v- velocity Unit- kgm/s ** An object must be moving to have momentum.  
🗑
Impulse   A Change in momentum Equation(s) I=F*t I - impulse F - force t - time I=m∆V m - mass ∆V - change in velocity Unit: kgm/s  
🗑
Elasticity   The measurement of how much a collision conserves energy. 100% elasticity = perfectly elastic collision 0% elasticity = perfectly inelastic collision Most collisions fall in between!  
🗑
Elastic Collisions   Momentum AND Energy are conserved within the system. *Identified by bouncing. Start and End with two individual objects.  
🗑
Inelastic Collisions   Momentum IS conserved Energy IS NOT conserved - energy lost to environment. *Identified by sticking/deformation within the system.Start with 2 objects End with 1 object.  
🗑
Conservation of Momentum and Energy   Momentum and Energy will be conserved within a system as long as no outside forces act on the system. Objects within the system can lose energy or momentum to one another or the environment but energy and momentum will be conserved as a whole.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
