Momentum and Energy

Quick Introduction

QuestionAnswer
Collision – elastic a collision that conserves kinetic energy and momentum
Collision – inelastic a collision the some kinetic energy is changed into heat, light, sound, deformations...; momentum still conserved
Conservation of p the sum of all momenta of the particles of a system is unchanged after an event (explosion or collision)
Energy the ability to make changes
Energy a condition of an object or system of objects; scalar quantities (no direction); unit in Joules; 1 J = 1 N-m = 1 kg-m2/sec2
Energy – gravitational gravitational potential energy is energy stored in an object-earth system because work was done “against” gravity
Energy – potential “Stored” energy; energy created because a force “acted” through a distance; stored in a system of objects
Energy – types kinetic, gravitational potential, heat, light, sound, electromagnetic radiation, high speed particles, etc.
Energy – Work a transformation mechanism for changing one mechanical energy into another (kinetic to potential) or to heat
Energy – Work theorem The change in kinetic energy is due to the work done on a moving object
Impulse change in momentum (change in p)
Impulse – due to force change in momentum due to a force “acting” for a time period
Momentum “quantity of motion”; vector quantity; one of the properties of matter
Newton’s 3rd Law the change in p of one object during an interaction equals the change in p of the other object except in opposite direction
Power Rate of work being done; units are “watts” 1 watt = 1 Joule/sec = 1 kg-m^2/sec^2

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
