Angular Momentum of Objects in Linear Motion definitions Flashcards

Momentum of an object that rotates, applicable to linear motion impacting a rotating axis.

Momentum used to solve collision problems where both objects have linear velocities.

A fixed point around which an object can rotate, crucial in angular momentum calculations.

An event where two objects come into contact, potentially involving linear and angular momentum.

Principle stating total momentum remains constant in an isolated system.

Speed of an object in a specific direction, used in calculating momentum.

An object with mass concentrated at a single point, used in angular momentum calculations.

The line around which an object rotates, important for determining angular momentum.

The space between two points, used in the formula for angular momentum as the radius.

Movement of an object around a central point or axis.

Equation used to calculate angular momentum of an object in linear motion.

The quantity of matter in an object, a factor in calculating momentum.

Perspective looking down on an object, used in visualizing rotational problems.

Unit of angular momentum, combining mass, distance, and time.

An axis not directly involved in an object's motion but used for calculating angular momentum.
