1
Velocity and Momentum ► Write your own definition Velocity Momentum
2
Velocity ► What was your definition of velocity? ► Can we write it scientifically?
3
Velocity and Speed ► How are velocity and speed related? ► How do they differ?
4
Thinking time… ► Can two objects have the same speed, but different velocities? ► Examples?
5
Velocity- Linear ► What does velocity look like linearly? ► http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/lady bug-motion-2d http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/lady bug-motion-2d http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/lady bug-motion-2d
6
Velocity on a Curve ► When happens to the velocity of an object as it goes around a curve? ► http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/lady bug-motion-2d http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/lady bug-motion-2d http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/lady bug-motion-2d
7
Relative Motion ► Think about this… Suppose you are riding on a train that is going 80 km/h. If you walk toward the front of the train at a speed of 1.2 km/h relative to the train, your velocity relative to the ground is 81.2 km/h in the direction the train is moving.

Relative Motion ► Think about this… Suppose you are riding on a train that is going 80 km/h. If you walk toward the back of the train at a speed of 1.2 km/h relative to the train. What is your velocity relative to the ground?

Momentum ► What was your definition of momentum? ► Can we write it scientifically?
10
Momentum ► How do we express momentum mathematically? ► Momentum = p ► Mass = m ► Velocity = v ► What are the units of momentum?
11
Example ► What is the momentum of a car with a mass of 1300 kg traveling north at a speed of 28 m/s? ► A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kgm/s south and a mass of 0.15 kg. What is the baseball’s speed?
12
Your Turn ► Find the mass of a person walking west at a speed of 0.8 m/s with a momentum of 52.0 kgm/s west. ► The mass of a basketball is three times greater than that mass of a softball. Compare the momentums of a softball and a basketball if they both are moving at the same velocity.

Mini Lab- Video ► http://www.pbs.org/opb/circus/classroom/circus- physics/linear-momentum/ http://www.pbs.org/opb/circus/classroom/circus- physics/linear-momentum/ http://www.pbs.org/opb/circus/classroom/circus- physics/linear-momentum/ ► Think about these as you watch: How is the jumper able to jump so far? Where does her momentum come from? What happens to the momentum of the person who stays on the platform? Why use the swing in the act? Why use the swing in the act? How is the jumper able to go so far? How would this act change if different people were on the swing? What if the launcher was heavier? What would happen with a light launcher and a heavy jumper? If the jumper’s momentum is increased in the launch, where is the corresponding decrease? If the jumper’s momentum is increased in the launch, where is the corresponding decrease? What happens when a heavy object collides with a light object?
