Collision
An encounter between two objects resulting in exchange of impulse and momentum, occurs when two objects come in direct contact
During a collision, external forces (like friction) are negligible due to the short period of time
Law of Conservation of Momentum
The total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the momentum of the system after the collision
Types of Collision
Elastic Collision (total kinetic energy does not change)
Inelastic Collision (total kinetic energy changes or is lost)
Perfectly Inelastic Collision
Objects stick together after collision
Mechanical Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy
Units and Scientists' Names
Newton (N = kg·m/s²)
Joule (J = kg·m²/s²)
Pascal (Pa = N/m²)
Watt (W = J/s)
Energy - the capacity to do work
Work - the product of force and distance/displacement
Momentum change because of Impulse
Equation 1 of Impulse:
I=f × t
Equation 2 of Impulse:
I=change in momentum
Force should have distance and time
Elastic Collision - which the total kinetic energy of the system does not change or not lost and colliding objects bounce off after collision
Inelastic Collision - which the total kinetic energy of the system changes or lost during the process. The lost kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, sound energy, and material deformation
