A+B together allows us to make the impact force internal (and not appear in the linear impulse-momentum equation). FBDs for A and B individually allows us to determine the t-direction components of ...

Momentum: Students learn to define, give the MKS units for, and calculate momentum and to use the impulse equation to explain situations involving impulse and change in momentum. Elastic and ...

When two objects collide the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision (in the absence of external forces). This is the law of conservation of momentum.

Segment 4A: Momentum and Impulse We define the terms momentum and impulse. Segment 4A: Momentum and Impulse We define the terms momentum and impulse. We see the impulse-momentum theorem in action ...
