Types of collisions
Elastic collision, inelastic collision
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. The total energy in an isolated system is constant.
Kinetic Energy
Energy resulting from motion. Energy that an object has because it is moving
work =Fd
F=W=mg work=Wd=mgd
In a collision, the total _________ is the same before and after
Linear Momentum
inelastic collision
Momentum befofe= momentum after KE before is not = to KE after
Elastic collision
Momentum before= momentum after KE before= KE after
potential energy-spring
PE=1/2kx^2 d is the change in length, k is the spring constant
potential energy
Scalar, Energy resulting from an object's position or orientation
Work
Scalar, The force that acts times the distance moved in the direction of the force.
Energy
Scalar, The measure of a system's capacity to do work. That which is transferred when work is done
Power
Scalar, The rate of doing work. The rate at which energy is transferred or transformed. Work done divided by the time. Energy transferred divided by the times
Newton's Second Law
Second Law of Motion (alternate form): The net external force acting on an object equals the rate of change of its linear momentum
The use of conservation laws is based on a "before-and-after" approach:
The total amount of the conserved physical quantity before an interaction is equal to the total amount after the interaction.
Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum
The total angular momentum of an isolated system is constant.
The main application of the law of conservation of linear momentum is to collisions.
The total linear momentum before a collision equals the total linear momentum after the collision, if the system is isolated. This applies to all collisions, both elastic and inelastic.
Conservation of Linear Momentum
The total linear momentum of an isolated system is constant.
Conservation laws are powerful tools for analyzing physical systems, particularly those in mechanics.
Their main advantage is that it is not necessary to know the details of what is going on in the system at each instant in time to apply them effectively.
Linear Momentum
Vector, The mass of an object times its velocity. linear momentum = mv
energy
Work always results in a transfer of energy from one thing to another, in a transformation of energy from one form to another, or both.
work
Work is done whenever a force acts through a distance in the same direction as the force. To be able to do work, a device or a person must have energy. The act of doing work involves the transfer of energy from one thing to another, the transformation of energy from one form to another, or both.
The centripetal force acting on a body moving in a circle changes its linear momentum, but it does not change its __________ momentum.
angular
Linear momentum, energy, and angular momentum
are physical quantities that are defined and used mainly because they are conserved in isolated systems.
To be able to do work, a system must have __________.
energy
During a collision between two football players, the total linear momentum of the system cannot be zero
false
The force of gravity cannot do work.
false
The parking brake in most automobiles makes use of a lever so that the force the driver must exert when setting it is reduced. Consequently, the amount of work the driver must do is also reduced.
false
True or False? If both the linear momentum and the kinetic energy of a satellite in orbit around Earth increase, then its angular momentum must also increase.
false
When you lift an object, its gravitational potential energy decreases.
false
Work done inside an isolated system can increase the total energy in the system.
false
Momentum depends on mass and velocity
for different mass objects with the same velocity, momentum is bigger for the larger mass
Diver A jumps off a platform and is going 5 m/s when entering the water. To be going 10 m/s when entering the water, diver B would have to jump off a platform that is _________ times as high as the platform A used.

Change in momentum is =
impulse
As a baseball player slides into home, the player's kinetic energy is converted into _________ energy.
internal
angular momentum
is a conserved quantity in rotational motion. Just as an applied force is needed to change the linear momentum of a system, an applied torque is required to change the angular momentum of a system. Torque is the analogue of force for angular motion.
Power
is the rate of doing work or using energy. It is the measure of how fast energy is transferred or transformed
In a collision that is inelastic, the total __________ after the collision is not the same as before the collision.
kinetic energy
mechanical energy
kinetic energy, potential energy, and internal energy
for any moving object you can define the

Impulse is equal with change in

If a force acting on an object and the object's velocity are in opposite directions, the work done by the force is ___________.
negative
As a skier gains speed while gliding down a slope, ____________ energy is being converted into ____________ energy.
potential, kinetic
Law of Conservation of Energy
tells us that in all such conversions, the total amount of energy remains constant.
Torque
torque = change in angular momentum. the net external torque acting on a system equals the rate of change of its angular momentum.
Conservation Laws
total mass in an isolated system is constant
The total linear momentum of the objects in a system before the collision is the same as the total linear momentum after the collision.
total mv before = total mv afte
A conservation law can be used without knowing all of the details about what is occurring inside a system
