Momentum and its Conservation
The impulse-momentum change theorem and the law of conservation of momentum are introduced, explained and applied to the analysis of collisions of objects.
Conservation Of Momentum
The momentum of an isolated system is a constant. The vector sum of the momentum of all the objects of a system cannot be changed by interactions within the system.
Introduction to momentum
This video tutorial introduces the concept of momentum and its conservation.
Momentum
The momentum of a particle is defined as the product of its mass times its velocity. It is a vector quantity.
Angular Momentum
The angular momentum of a rigid object is defined as the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity.
Conservation Laws
Deal with the laws of conservation of momentum, or energy, and of angular momentum.
Conservation of Momentum in Different Reference Frames.
If momentum is conserved in one inertial reference frame, it is conserved in all inertial frames. This java applet apply the above concept to one dimensional collision problem.
