the sume of the individual momenta of each object within the system
net momentum
the product of the force acting on a system and time interval during which the force acts. Equals the change in momentum
impulse
a force applied to a system from outside the system, the most common of which are weight, support or normal force, friction, and fluid resistance
external force
a system that does not gain or loose mass
closed system
"Inertia in Motion"; the "quantity of motion"; the product of the mass of an object and the velocity of the object
momentum
a collision in which the colliding objects become tangled or coupled together, distorted (shape changes) and/or generate heat or sound during the collison
inelastic interaction
in a closed and isolated system, the momentum of the system before the interaction among the system parts is equal to the momentum of the system after the interaction
law of conservation of mass
the energy and object has because of its motion
kinetic energy
an interaction in which the objects of the system are initially at rest before the parts interact and fly apart because of the release of energy stored within the system
explosive momentum
the identified object or collection of objects that will interact and the thing upon which external forces acts
system
an impulse causes and is equal to the resulting change in momentum and is in the same direction as the change of momentum
impulse-momentum theorem
collisions in which colliding objects rebound without a lasting change in shape or sound or heat generation
elastic-interaction
a system on which the net external force is zero
isolated system
the ability of an object to produce a change in itself or the world around it
