Conservation of Momentum DLD 11.14

Front

Inelastic Collision

Back

A type of collision in which objects stick together after colliding, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy.

Front

Conservation of Momentum

Back

The principle stating that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it.

Front

Momentum Formula

Back

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

Front

Elastic Collision

Back

A type of collision where both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Front

Total Momentum Before Collision

Back

The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

Front

Isolated System

Back

A physical system that does not interact with its surroundings, allowing for the conservation of momentum.

Front

Mass and Velocity

Back

Momentum of an object depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

Kinetic Energy in Collisions

Back

In elastic collisions, kinetic energy is conserved; in inelastic collisions, it is not.

Front

Example of Inelastic Collision

Back

A car crash where the vehicles crumple together and move as one mass.

Front

Example of Elastic Collision

Back

Two billiard balls colliding and bouncing off each other without losing speed.
