Momentum Flashcards
(4 cards)
1
Q
Define momentum
A
Momentum is a measure of how much motion an object has an is given by the product of the objectβs mass and velocity
2
Q
What is the formula and S.I units for momentum?
A
π=ππ and kgm/s
3
Q
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
A
Whenever two or more objects interact, their total momentum remains unchanged. The momentum before the collision and the momentum after the collision is equal. βπ_βbeforeβ =βπ_βafterβ
4
Q
What is impulse and itβs formula?
A
A change in momentum. Ξπ=ππ_f βππ_i =πΞπ‘
