Collisions Momentum: a measure of motion Force: a cause of change in motion What changes when a force is applied? Linear Momentum: p ≡ mv (vector!!!!!) the tendency of an object to pursue straight line motion Impulse: the change in motion “Impulse Power” ?
Conservation of momentum two (or more) bodies + action/reaction + no external forces FAB = - FBA → equal but opposite impulses! → pA + pB = 0 When the net external force on a system is zero, the total momentum of that system is constant. p1 + p2 + p3 + ... is constant Collisions, explosions etc: m1v1 + m2v2 =m1v’1 + m1v’2 Cart Demo's Elastic = kinetic energy is also conserved Inelastic = kinetic energy is lost (some “stickiness”) Completely Inelastic =maximal Kinetic Energy Loss (masses stick together) Superball Demo Application to Bumper Cars

Rotational Inertia: like mass from linear motion Rotational Kinetic Energy for a single point particle for a solid rotating object Moment of Inertia I = moment of Inertia = rotational inertia I = mr2 = m1r12 + m2r22 + m3r32 + ... Rotational Inertia depends upon how the mass is distributed Rotational Inertia: like mass from linear motion F = ma becomes t = Ia where t is the torque (twisting version of force)
