momentum/ physics

Cards (13)

  • momentum = mass x velocity
  • conservation of momentum - total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event.
  • impulse = change in momentum / time
  • force = impulse / time
  • Newton's first law states that if there are no forces acting on an object, it will continue at constant speed or remain stationary.
  • newton's first law states that if there are no forces acting on an object, it will continue at constant speed or remain stationary.
  • Newton's second law states that force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).
  • newtons second law states that force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma)
  • energy transfer = energy stored + energy lost
  • Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
  • newtons third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
  • momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity (p=mv)
  • momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity (p=mv) and has units of kgm/s.
