3. R. Field 10/08/2013 University of Florida PHY 2053Page 3 Center-of-Mass Linear Momentum Momentum Conservation: Single Particle: The overall linear momentum of a system of particles is the vector sum of the momentums of all the particles. System of Particles: The time rate of change of the momentum is equal to the net force acting on the particle. If F net = 0 then p is constant in time (i.e. does not change). (system of particles) If the net external force acting on a system of particles is zero (i.e. isolated system) then P tot is constant in time (i.e. does not change) and hence the total momentum at some initial time t i is equal to the total momentum at some final time t f. (conservation of linear momentum, isolated system) Units = kg ∙m/s The linear momentum of a particle is its mass times its velocity vector.

4. R. Field 10/08/2013 University of Florida PHY 2053Page 4 Momentum Conservation: Example Example: Near the surface of the Earth, a bullet with mass m moving directly upward at speed v = 1,000 m/s strikes and passes through the center of mass of a block of mass M initially at rest as shown in the figure. The bullet then emerges from the block moving directly upward at speed v‘ = 500 m/s. If the mass of the block is 250 times the mass of the bullet, to what maximum height does the block then rise above its initial position? Answer: 20.4 cm

5. R. Field 10/08/2013 University of Florida PHY 2053Page 5 Exam 2 Spring 2012: Problem 10 A cannon on a railroad car is facing in a direction parallel to the tracks as shown in the figure. The cannon can fires a 100-kg cannon ball at a muzzle speed of 150 m/s at an angle of  above the horizontal as shown in the figure. The cannon plus railway car have a mass of 5,000 kg. If the cannon and one cannon ball are travelling to the right on the railway car a speed of v = 2 m/s, at what angle  must the cannon be fired in order to bring the railway car to rest? Assume that the track is horizontal and there is no friction. Answer: 48.2 o % Right: 57%

6. R. Field 10/08/2013 University of Florida PHY 2053Page 6 Momentum Change: Impulse Average Constant Force: The change in the linear momentum is equal to the impulse. The impulse J is defined as follows: Impulse: The time rate of change of the momentum is equal to the net force acting on an object. (definition of impulse for constant force) Often one is interested in the average constant force necessary to produce an impulse J within the time interval  t = t 2 – t 1. Example: A ball of mass M drops vertically onto the floor, hitting with speed v 1. If the ball is in contact with the floor for a time  t and if it rebounds with speed v 2, what is the magnitude of the average force on the floor from the ball? (constant force)

7. R. Field 10/08/2013 University of Florida PHY 2053Page 7 Impulse: Example Problem Answer: 14.7 N ∙ s A 0.5-kg rubber ball is dropped from rest a height of 19.6 m above the surface of the Earth. It strikes the sidewalk below and rebounds up to a maximum height of 4.9 m. What is the magnitude of the impulse due to the collision with the sidewalk? (impulse)
