Momentum impulse conservationists of linear momentum

• Mass


  Quantity of a substance
• Momentum

  Mass in motion
• Momentum


  Equal to the product of mass and velocity
• P


  Momentum in kilogram meter per second (kg.m/s)
• m


  Mass of the moving object in kilogram (kg)
• v


  Velocity of the moving object in meter per second (m/s)
• Change in velocity or mass of an object

  Change in Momentum
• Impulse


  Change in momentum
• Constant momentum


  No change, therefore no impulse or zero impulse
• Collision


  Instance of one moving object or person striking violently against another
• Types of Collision

  • Elastic
  • Inelastic
• Conserved


  Something which doesn't change
• System


  An organized collection of parts that are highly integrated to accomplish an overall goal
• Conservation of Linear Momentum

  The Law of conservation of Momentum: When the two objects in an isolated system collide the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision
• Mathematically: M₁ U₁ + m₂ U₂ = (m² + m₂) U
• m₁


  Mass of the first object in kilogram (kg)
• V₁


  Velocity of the first object before collision in m/s
• m2


  Mass of the second object in kilogram (kg)
• V₂


  Velocity of the second object before collision in m/s
• V'


  Velocity of the combined object collision in m/s
• The total momentum of an isolated system is conserved.
