Linear momentum definition and formula
The product of the mass of a body times it’s velocity
p = mv
Newton’s second law in terms of momentum
F = change in momentum over change in time
Impulse
The product of the average force times the time for which the force acts
What is the area under the curve of a force time graph?
Impulse
Law of conservation of momentum
When the net force on a system is zero the momentum does not change
Elastic collision
When kinetic energy is conserved
Totally inelastic collision
When the maximum possible kinetic energy is lost
Kinetic energy in terms of momentum
KE = p^2/2m
