  • Momentum is the product of the mass and the velocity of an
  • The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the total linear momentum of an object remains constant in magnitude and direction
  • Impulse is the product of an object's net force and the time it's takes for the net force to act on the object.
  • Impulse formula
    Fnet(change in time)=change in momentum
    OR
    Fnet(change in time)=mvf -mvi
  • If there are multiple forces acting on an object, then the impulses from all those forces must be added together to get the total change in momentum
  • Work energy theorem
    States that the total work done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object.
  • Conservative force
    A force or which the work done in moving an object between two points is independant of the path taken
  • Non conservative
    A force for which the work done in moving an object between two points is dependant of the path taken
  • Mechanical conservation of energy
    The total mechanical energy of an isolated system remains constant.
  • Power
    The rate at which work is done or energy is expanded
  • Work
    The transfer of energy
