Document Summary

All diagrams taken from "l13_conservation_of_energy. pdf" on the course canvas website. B, if magnitude is the same and directions are opposite. Kinetic energy is a positive scalar, only zero for a stationary object. If v doubles, the magnitude of momentum doubles, kinetic energy quadruples. If the kinetic energy added is a momentum of the same magnitude and in an opposite direction. Internal energy: the state of a system is the condition of an object, the transformation of a system from one state to another is a process, reversible and irreversible. Internal energy is energy associated with the state of an object: thermal, elastic, electromagnetic/radiation, chemical, nuclear. In an inelastic collision, one or the other object undergoes a change in internal state, which takes up some kinetic energy (momentum is still conserved) Quiz: a small bullet is fired into a large piece of wood.
