Momentum
Momentum = mass x velocity
1 of 9
Unit of momentum
kgms(-1) or Ns.I
2 of 9
Newton's second law of motion
the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the resultant force on it.
3 of 9
Impulse
Impulse = force x the time for which the force acts.
4 of 9
What does the area under a Force-time graph represent?
Impulse (change of momentum)
5 of 9
Newton's third law of motion
When two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other.
6 of 9
Principle of conservation of momentum
For interacting objects, total momentum remains constant, provided no external resultant force acts on them.
7 of 9
Elastic Collision
No loss of kinetic energy.
8 of 9
Inelastic Collision
Colliding objects stick together.
