Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions Vocabulary
Across
- 7. a type of interaction where both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved
- 9. the total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant over time
- 12. the SI unit for linear momentum
- 14. the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon it and inversely proportional to its mass
Down
- 1. the net impulse applied to an object is equal to its change in momentum
- 2. forces exchanged between particles or objects within a defined system
- 3. a rapid, violent release of energy, typically producing high temps., shock waves, and high-pressure gas expansion
- 4. a push or pull acting upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object
- 5. the rate at which an object changes its position
- 6. a fundamental vector quantity representing the product of an object's mass and its velocity
- 8. a collision where total kinetic energyy is not conserved, often transformed into heat
- 10. any force acting on a defined system that originates from outside that system
- 11. a fundamental, scalar property representing the amount of matter in
- 13. a vector quantity defined as the product of the average net force acting on an object and the time interval over which it acts
