Linear Momentum
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
