Momentum and Impulse Resistors in Combination Circuits

Ft = impulse Solve Parallel first then add to

M(vf-vi) = momentum other series resistors.
Impulse = momentum Ohms Law

During collisions V= IR

Energy Relationships P = VI

PE = mgh P = I2R

KE = ½ mv2
Voltage (V) = joules/ coulomb
Heat = m * c * (tf-ti)
Current (I) =amps = Coulombs/sec
PE = KE + Heat
