# Summary
* Net force equals $\vec F_{net}=\frac{\Delta \vec p}{\Delta t}$
* Impulse is average force over time interval: $\vec J = \vec F_{avg}\Delta t$
* Impulse-momentum theory is impulse = change in momentum: $$\vec J=\Delta \vec p = \vec p-\vec p_0$$
* Integral of a force vs time graph equals impulse, slope of momentum vs time graph = net force
* Impulse units are N * s (kg * m/s)
* When mass is constant F=ma comes from Impulse-Momentum theory

[[Linear Momentum]]
Total momentum of system stays the same when there is no external force acting on it.
# Summary
* Total momentum is vector sum
* If net external force is 0, then momentum stays the same.
* Momentum is conserved in every action
* Nonzero net external force transfers momentum in or out of system, which is impulse.
* Center of mass velocity stays constant when no external force.
# Center of Mass Velocity
$$\vec v_{cm}=\frac{\Sigma \vec p_i}{\Sigma m_i}$$
Treats whole system like momentum is concentrated in one point.

# Summary
* Elastic collision: total kinetic energy stays the same
* Inelastic collision: energy is lost to things like heat and sound
* Perfectly inelastic collision: objects stick together and share one velocity
* Momentum is conserved in every collision where net external force is zero
* "Lost" kinetic energy just transforms into different forms, so total energy is preserved.
Perfectly inelastic collisions:
$$v_f=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1m_2}$$

# Elastic Collision Energy Conservation Formula
$$\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_{1i}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_{2i}=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_{1f}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_{2f}$$

Linear momentum: $$\vec p=m\vec v$$
$\vec p$ is momentum in kg * m/s
# Summary
* Momentum: $\vec p=m\vec v$
* It's a vector
* Doubling either mass or velocity doubles momentum
* In one dimension, assign positive and negative signs
* Collision is an interaction where forces between objects are much larger than net external force on system
* Explosion is interaction where internal forces push parts of a system apart
