Momentum Vocab

4. The force of gravity acting on an object
5. The speed of an object in a specific direction, a vector quantity that indicates both how fast and in what direction an object is moving.
7. The total force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined, determining the object's acceleration and motion.
9. The energy possessed by an object due to its motion, calculated as one-half the mass multiplied by the velocity squared.
10. Property of a body to resist changes to state of motion
13. A collision where both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved, resulting in no permanent deformation or generation of heat.
15. The SI unit of force?
16. The quantity of matter in an object
17. The product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing the quantity of motion it possesses.

1. A principle stating that in a closed system, the total momentum before an event (like a collision) is equal to the total momentum after the event.
2. A fundamental principle that states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma).
3. The change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over time; calculated as the product of force and the time duration of its application.
6. A collision in which momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not; objects may stick together or deform.
8. The difference between an object's final momentum and its initial momentum, often caused by an external force.
9. Fundamental unit of Mass
11. Force caused by irregularities between objects to resist motion
12. Defined motion as Natural and Violent
14. He wrote the book De Revolutionibus.
