Theory & Formula
Momentum & Collisions
Momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the motion of objects. Collision analysis uses conservation of momentum principles.
Key Equations
Momentum: \(p = mv\)
Conservation of Momentum: \(\sum p_i = \sum p_f\)
Impulse: \(J = F\Delta t = \Delta p\)
Types of Collisions
Elastic Collision: Kinetic energy is conserved. Objects bounce off each other.
Inelastic Collision: Kinetic energy is not conserved. Objects stick together or deform.
Example
A 2 kg ball moving at 5 m/s has momentum p = mv = (2)(5) = 10 kg⋅m/s
