Forces 2

3. Newton's Law

3.1 Newton's 1st Law is about object in equilibrium
- Object at rest will stay at rest, or continue to move with constant velocity in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an external force

Forces 1

1. Type of forces

2. FBD, example 1
- Below is a flying jet
- Label all the forces that act on it
- Draw FBD

Momentum & Impulse 2

3.2 Conservation of linear momentum
1. States
  • “In an isolated (closed) system, the total momentum of that system is constant.”
OR
  • When the net external force on a system is zero, the total momentum of that system is constant.”, Sp = constant,
OR
  •  The total of initial momentum = the total of final momentum
Spi = Spf
2. In 2-D Þ Spix = Spfx
                 Þ Spiy = Spfy

3. Type of collission


# Use to determine either it's elastic or inelastic collision

Momentum & Impulse 1




3.1 Momentum & impulse
1.     Impulse, J = FDt
2.     Change in momentum: Dp = m (v2 – v1)
 3.     Impulse-Momentum Theorem
The impulse of the force F acting on a particle equals the change in the momentum of the particle caused by that force
J = FDt = m(v2 – v1)
