Student will: Impulse and Momentum Study Impulse and Momentum in one dimension
3
Momentum: Momentum: “inertia in motion” -A vector Questions 1)How would you describe momentum?
4
Impulse: Impulse: A force exerted over a time interval that causes a change in an object’s momentum. -Is a vector J = FΔt = mΔv Kg ∙ m/sNs Impulse (Kg ∙ m/s) = Force (N) x Time(s) kgm/s = mass (kg) x change in velocity (m/s) Questions 1)How does an airbag work?
5
Example: Impulse Assume a bullet travels with a mass of 15 grams at 400 m/s and hits the Hulk. The bullet’s velocity drops to 0 m/s. Calculate the force’s magnitude required to stop the bullet in.5 seconds.
6
Given: m = 15 g = 0.015 kg v i = 400 m/s v f = 0 m/s t = 0.5 s Unknown: F = ? Steps 1)Define Assume a bullet travels to the right with a mass of 15 grams at 400 m/s and hits the Hulk. Calculate the force’s magnitude required to stop the bullet in.5 seconds. Magnitude only
7
Choose an equation or situation: Rearrange the equation to isolate the unknown: 2)Plan What is the unit of the left hand side?
8
Substitute the values into the equation and solve 3)Calculate Negative number tells you the direction
9
The Hulk would exert a force of 12 N on the bullet to stop it in.5 seconds. Question: If the Hulk stops the bullet in 0.01 seconds instead, what is the Force then? 4)Evaluate Extension
