Collisions: All around us (cars, buses) Grand astronomical scale (stars, galexies) Nuclear, atomic and molecular physics The impulse-momentum theorem relates the change in the momentum of a system to the total force on it and the time interval during which this total forces acts
All around us: wheels, skaters, ballet, gymnasts, helicopter, rotors, mobile engines, CD disks, … Atomic world: electrons— “spin”, “orbit”. Universe: planets spin and orbiting the sun, galaxies spin, …
The causes of acceleration of a system--The first law of motion states that zero total force exists when the system has a constant velocity; a nonzero total force on the system causes its acceleration
Electric Fields 918.1 Conductors in electric field 1. Conductors A conductor is a material in which the electrons at the outer periphery of an atom have no great affinity for any particular individual
