EQUATIONS
Newtons Second Law of Motion
F=ma is equal to mass times acceleration
Conservation of linear momentum
Total Momentum (p)
p=mv
when the net force acting on a system of a object is zero,
the total momentum (p) of a system is constant.
Elastic Collision
A collision between two objects where no kinetic energy
is lost and energy is conserved.
Conservation of energy
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change from forms.
The total energy of an isolated system is constant regardless of internal changes
Note: A net force hit on a small mass will go farther than a large mass.
"An unbalanced force causes an object to move in
the direction of the force."
