3.5 - Newton's laws of motion and momentum

Cards (10)

  • Impulse
    Change in momentum Force x time
  • Inelastic collision
    Some loss of kinetic energy
  • Linear momentum
    Mass x velocity
  • Newton's 1st law
    An object will remain at rest or move at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net force
  • Newton's 1st law
    An object will remain at rest or move at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net force
  • Newton's 3rd law
    When one body exerts a force on another the other body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body
  • Newtons 2nd law
    Resultant force applied is equal to the rate of change of momentum
  • Perfectly elastic collision
    Collision where kinetic energy is conserved
  • Resistive force
    Any force acting in the opposite direction to motion They do work against the object reducing Ek
  • Principle of conservation of linear momentum
    Total momentum is conserved
