Across
- 2. The product of the average force applied to an object and the time interval over which it acts, given by.
- 5. In an isolated system where no external forces act, the total momentum remains constant over time.
- 9. Forces exerted by objects within a defined system on one another; these do not change the total momentum of the system.
- 10. A collision where momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is lost
- 13. A collision where both total linear momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved.
- 14. A vector quantity representing the rate of change of displacement.
- 15. A measure of an object's resistance to acceleration (inertia) and the amount of matter it contains.
Down
- 1. States that the impulse applied to an object is equal to the change in its linear
- 3. Forces exerted on a system from outside its boundaries, which cause a change in the system's total momentum.
- 4. A push or pull acting upon an object resulting from its interaction with another object.
- 6. A process where an internal force causes a single object to break into multiple parts; momentum is conserved.
- 7. The standard SI unit for linear momentum and impulse.
- 8. The product of an object's mass and its velocity, defined by the equation.
- 11. Usually stated as, but more fundamentally defined as the rate of change of momentum:
- 12. Vector quantity defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity
