Exam 3 Flashcards
Momentum
P=mv
Momentum is mass times velocity.
It is a vector.
If you go twice as fast, how does this change your momentum?
How does it change your Velocity?
P=m2v so doubles your momentum
KE=1/2 m(2v)^2
so your KE increases by factor of 4
Impulse
Change in momentum:
Pf-Pi same as mvf-mvi
How dose bouncing affect impulse?
A bounce will double the impulse.
No bounce: Bounce:
Final V is 0 Final V =Initial V
Impulse = mvf-mvi
0-mvi = mvi -mvf-mvi= -2mv
So object that bounce will have more force
Conservation of momentum is calculated…
Conservation of momentum is calculated in each dimension. x axis and y axis.
conservation means equals zero
Elastic Collisions
Bounce/ no sticking, no deformation
momentum is conserved AND
KE is conserved, meaning KEf=KEi
Elastic collisions have the cheater equations she will provide
Inelastic Collisions
stick together, can have deformation,
thermal or sound energy lost
Momentum is conserved but KE is not!
When two objects stick together, their final momentum is equal (velocity is the same)
