6. MOMENTUM
6.1 Linear Momentum
6.2 Impulse
- Define the momentum of an object.
- Determine the impulse given to an object.
6.3 Conservation of momentum
6.4 Rocket Propulsion
- Relate Newton's Third law of motion to situations involving
conservation of momentum.
- Recognize the conditions under which the momentum of a
system is conserved.
- Apply conservation of momentum to explain the
propulsion of rockets.
6.5 Inelastic Collisions
6.6 Elastic Collisions
- Distinguish between elastic and inelastic collisions.
- Analyze collisions to find the change in kinetic energy.
- Solve conservation of momentum problems for both types
of collisions.
