Momentum

Cards (6)

  • Momentum is mass times velocity (it is defined as it's formula).
    • Momentum is a quantity possessed by an object in motion.
    • S.I unit is kgm/s.
    • It's a vector quantity
  • The principle of momentum states that: The total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision provided no external forces act on the objects.
  • Elastic collision is a collision in which momentum and kinetic energy of the colliding objects is conserved.
  • Inelastic collision is a collision in which momentum is conserved but K.E is not conserved.
  • The principle of moments states that: At equilibrium the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.
