Physics (AQA) Unit 3 - Force and Impulse - Flashcards in A Level and IB Physics

Elastic Collisions

Collisions were there is no loss of kinetic energy

1 of 8

Inelastic Collisions

Collisions were kinetic energy is lost

2 of 8

Totally Inelastic Collisions

Collisions were the objects stick together

3 of 8

Impulse

The change in momentum (mΔv)

4 of 8

Impact Force

Change in moments divided by contact time

5 of 8

Newton's 1st Law of motion

A body is stationary or moves at a constant velocity if not acted in on by a resultant force.

6 of 8

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

The resultant force acting on a body equals to product of the mass and the acceleration (F=ma)

7 of 8

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
