Momentum
  1. Mass x Velocity
    1. KGMS-1
    2. Principle of Conservation of Momentum
      1. In a closed system momentum stays the same in the absence of external forces.
      2. Collisions:
        1. Elastic
          1. Momentum and KE conserved.
            1. Relative speed of approach = relative speed of seperation
            2. Ineslastic
              1. Momentum conserved, KE not.
                1. Relative speed of seperation is 0/unknown.
              2. Newton's Laws
                1. 1st: an object will remain at rest / at a constant velocity unless acted on by an external force. Inertia.
                  1. 2nd: net force = the change in momentum of an object.
                    1. 3rd: when two bodies interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite.
                    2. Impluse of a force:
                      1. The area under a force x time graph
                        1. Force x time
