PHYS 1511 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Angular Velocity, Momentum
Document Summary
Chapter 7 of "physics" by cutnell and johnson focuses on the topic of momentum and impulse. The chapter begins with an introduction to momentum, which is de ned as the product of mass and velocity. The chapter then goes on to explore various types of momentum, including linear momentum, angular momentum, and impulse: the rst section of the chapter discusses linear momentum. It de nes linear momentum as the product of mass and velocity and introduces the concept of conservation of linear momentum. The chapter then explores various examples of momentum conservation, including collisions and explosions. The section concludes with a discussion of elastic and inelastic collisions: the second section of the chapter deals with angular momentum. It de nes angular momentum as the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity and introduces the concept of conservation of angular momentum.
