3.  Moving objects have momentum  Vector quantity Points in the same direction as the velocity vector Momentum: Equals the product of an objects mass and velocity Proportional to mass and velocity p = mv p = momentum (kg * m/s) m = mass (kg) v = velocity (m/s)

4. What is the taxi cab’s momentum? * Mass of the taxi = 53 kg * Velocity of the taxi = 1.2 m/s Answer:p = mv p = (53 kg)(1.2 m/s) p = 63.6 kg * m/s to the left v = 1.2 m/s p = 63.6 kg * m/s

5.  Newton’s 2 nd Law  ΣF = ma = m(Δv/Δt)  ΣF = m(Δv/Δt)  Momentum  p = mv  m = p/v  ΣF = (p/v)(Δv/Δt)  ΣF = Δp/Δt

6.  If the momentum of an object changes, either mass, velocity, or both change  If mass remains the same  than velocity changes  acceleration occurs What produces an acceleration? FORCE  Greater the force acting on the object  greater its change in velocity  greater its change in momentum

7.  How long the force acts is also important…  Stalled car Apply a force over a brief amount of time  produce a change in momentum Apply the same force over an extended period of time  produce a greater change in the car’s momentum A force suspended for a long time produces more change in momentum than does the same force applied briefly  Both force and time are important in changing momentum

8.  IMPULSE (J) = Δp = p f – p i = mv f – mv i  J = F avg Δt  F avg Δt = mΔv F avg = mΔv/Δt  Impulse (J) = Change in momentum  Impulse is also the product of the average force and the time during which the force is applied.  Vector quantity  Units: kg * m/s

9.  A long jumper's speed just before landing is 7.8 m/s. What is the impulse of her landing? (mass = 68 kg)  J = Δp  J = p f - p i  J = mv f – mv i  J = 0 - (68kg)(7.8m/s)  J = -530 kg * m/s *Negative sign indicates that the direction of the impulse is opposite to her direction of motion

10.  Baseball player swings a bat and hits the ball, the duration of the collision can be as short as 1/1000 th of a second and the force averages in the thousands of newtons  The brief but large force the bat exerts on the ball = Impulsive force

11.  View Kinetic books section 8.4- Physics at play: Hitting a baseball BASEBALL PROBLEM The ball arrives at 40 m/s and leaves at 49 m/s in the opposite direction. The contact time is 5.0×10 −4 s. What is the average force on the ball? J = Δp = F avg Δt = mΔv F avg Δt = mΔv F avg = mΔv/Δt F avg = (0.14kg)(49 – (-40)m/s)/5.0×10 −4 s F avg = 2.5×10 4 N

12.  Case 1: Increasing momentum  To increase the momentum of an object  apply the greatest force possible for as long as possible Golfer teeing off and a baseball player trying for a home run Swing as hard as possible (large force) Follow through with their swing (increase in time)

13.  Case 2: Decreasing momentum  You are in a car that is out of control  Do you want to hit a cement wall or haystack? In either case, your momentum is decreased by the same impulse… But, the same impulse does not mean the same amount of force or the same amount of time  rather it means the same PRODUCT of force and time

14.  Case 2 continued: Decreasing momentum Hit the haystack  Extend the impact time Change in momentum occurs over a long time  Small impact force  mv = F t Hit the cement wall Change in momentum occurs over a short time  Large impact force  mv = F t

15. If you want to decrease a large momentum, you can have the force applied for a longer time ** If the change in momentum occurs over a long time  Force of impact is small Examples:  Air bags in cars.  Crash test video Crash test video FtFt

16. If the change in momentum occurs over a short time, the force of impact is large. Karate link Boxing video FtFt

17.  QUESTION  When a glass falls, will the impulse be less if it lands on a carpet than if it lands on a hard floor? NO  Impulse is the same for either surface because the change in momentum is the same Carpet: More time is available for the change in momentum  smaller force for the impulse Hard floor: Less time is available for the change in momentum (due to less “give”)  larger force for the impulse

18.  Conservation of momentum:  Occurs when there are no net external force(s) acting on the system Result  Total momentum of an isolated system is constant  Momentum before = Momentum after  Playing pool example: Kinetic books 8.6

19.  Momentum  p = mv  Conservation of momentum  Momentum before = Momentum after  p i1 + p i2 +…+ p in = p f1 + p f2 +…+ p fn p i1, p i2, …, p in = initial momenta p f1, p f2, …, p fn = final momenta  m 1 v i1 + m 2 v i2 = m 1 v f1 + m 2 v f2 m 1, m 2 = masses of objects v i1, v i2 = initial velocities v f1, v f2 = final velocities

22.  Collision of objects  Demonstrates the conservation of momentum  Whenever objects collide in the absence of external forces net momentum before collision = net momentum after collision

23.  Momentum is conserved in ALL TYPES of collisions  Elastic Collisions Objects collide without being permanently deformed and without generating heat  Inelastic Collisions Colliding objects become distorted (tangled or coupled together) and generate heat

24.  Problem  Consider a 6-kg fish that swims toward and swallows a 2-kg fish that is at rest. If the larger fish swims at 1 m/s, what is its velocity immediately after lunch? net momentum before collision = net momentum after collision (net mv) before = (net mv) after (6kg)(1m/s) +(2kg)(0) = (6kg + 2kg)(v after ) v after = ¾ m/s

25.  Problem  Consider a 6-kg fish that swims toward and swallows a 2-kg fish that is moving towards the larger fish at 2 m/s. If the larger fish swims at 1 m/s, what is its velocity immediately after lunch? net momentum before collision = net momentum after collision (net mv) before = (net mv) after (6kg)(1m/s) +(2kg)(-2m/s) = (6kg + 2kg)(v after ) v after = 1/4 m/s

26.  Perfectly Elastic collisions  Not common in the everyday world Some heat is generated during collisions Drop a ball and after it bounces from the floor, both the ball and the floor are a bit warmer  At the microscopic level  perfectly elastic collisions are common Electrically charged particles bounce off one another without generating heat

The cars collide and stick. a) What is the final velocity of the two vehicles? a)m 1 v 1i + m 2 v 2i = (m 1 +m 2 )v f (2665kg)(15.64m/s) + (1061kg)(-15.64m/s) = (2665 + 1061kg)v f v f = 6.73 m/s = 15.1 mph

41.  Key Facts:  Newton’s 2 nd Law (F = ma) To accelerate an object  Net force must be applied  To change the momentum of an object  exert an impulse on it  The momentum of a system cannot change unless it is acted on by external forces

42.  Law of Conservation of Momentum  In the absence of an external force, the momentum of a system remains unchanged Examples in which the net momentum is the same before and after the event: Radioactive decay Cars colliding Stars exploding

43. mv(initial) = mv(final) An astronaut of mass 80 kg pushes away from a space station by throwing a 0.75-kg wrench which moves with a velocity of 24 m/s relative to the original frame of the astronaut. What is the astronaut’s recoil speed? (0.75kg)(24m/s) = 80kg(v) v = 0.225 m/s

44.  Question  Newton’s 2 nd law states that if no net force is exerted on a system, no acceleration occurs. Does it follow that no change in momentum occurs? Yes, because no acceleration (a = Δv/t)  means no change in velocity  and no change in momentum (p = mΔv) Also, no net force means  no net impulse (J = Ft)  J = Δp  no change in momentum

45.  Question  Newton’s 3 rd law states that the force a rifle exerts on a bullet is equal and opposite to the force the bullet exerts on the rifle. Does is follow that the impulse the rifle exerts on the bullet is equal and opposite to the impulse the bullet exerts on the rifle? Yes, because the rifle acts on the bullet and bullet reacts on the rifle during the same time interval Since time is equal and force is equal and opposite for both  Impulse, Ft, is also equal and opposite for both (Impulse – vector quantity and can be canceled)

46. The law of conservation of momentum can be derived from Newton’s 2 nd and 3 rd laws Newton’s 2 nd law  F = ma Newton’s 3 rd law  Forces are equal but opposite * Refer to Kinetic Books- 8.7 For step-by-step derivation

47.  Collisions:  Momentum- Useful concept when applied to collisions  In a collision, two or more objects exert forces on each other for a brief instant of time, and these forces are significantly greater than any other forces they may experience during the collision
