Linear Momentum
|
The product of mass and velocity
p = mv |
|
|
SI units for momentum
|
Kilogram-meters per second
Kg*m/s |
|
|
Is Linear Momentum a vector?
|
Yes
|
|
|
Net force in terms of momentum
|
Fnet = Δp / Δt
Where p is momentum and t is time |
|
|
SI units of Impulse
|
Newton seconds (same as momentum)
|
|
|
Impulse
|
Δp
|
|
|
Δp
|
Impulse

|
|
Elastic Collision
|
The total kinetic energy is conserved in the collision
|
|
|
Inelastic Collision
|
The total kinetic energy is NOT conserved in the collision due to conservative forces (friction)
|
|
|
Completely Inelastic Collision
|
Two objects collide and stick together after the collision
|
|
|
Center of Mass
|
The point at which all of the mass of an object or system may be considered to be concentrated for the purpose of linear motion only.
Also described as the balance point. |
|
|
Center of Gravity
|
The point where all the weight of an object may be considered to be concentrated in representing the object as a particle
