Applied Science III - Finau
2
What is inertia? An object’s ability to change its motion A measure of the amount of matter within the object
3
Which has more inertia? A car traveling at 20 mph or a bus standing still? Why? The bus has more inertia It has more mass, thus harder to change its motion
4
Which would have more momentum? The car would have more momentum because it has more velocity (speed)
5
If a bus and a car are both traveling at 20 mph, which would have more momentum? The bus would have more momentum because it has more mass
6
If two Mustangs w/the same mass move at different speeds (1 st at 20mph & 2 nd at 40 mph), which would have more momentum? The 2 nd Mustang would have more momentum because it is moving with a faster velocity
7
What does momentum depend on? What are the Relationships? Momentum depends on both mass & velocity of an object Both are directly proportional to Momentum
8
Can you define momentum? Equation? Formulated by French Scientists/Philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650): The amount of motion of an object that determines the amount of time needed to change its motion when acted on by a force Momentum = mass X velocity
9
How much momentum does a 1000 kg car have traveling at 5 m/s? p = mv Mass = 1000 kg Velocity = 5 m/s p = (1000)(5) = 5000 kg m/s
10
Differences in Momentum: Sumo vs Punch
11
In order to change an object’s momentum, what must happen? Change its velocity Create an acceleration Apply a force
12
What is the difference between applying a force for 2 seconds and applying a force for 4 seconds? Applying a force for more time changes an object’s speed more ie. - The longer you push, the faster it goes
13
What is impulse? Equation? Impulse is a force applied over a time interval that changes the momentum of an object Impulse = Force X time
14
How big of an impulse would pushing on a couch with 50 N of force over 2 seconds create? I = Ft Force = 50 N Time = 2 s I = (50)(2) = 100 Ns
15
How are Impulse and change in momentum related? Directly Proportional – increase Impulse, increase change in momentum
16
What is the Impulse-momentum theorem? The change in an object’s momentum is equal to the impulse acting on the object I = Δp *note – Δ means “change in” If we break into variables Ft = mΔv
17
The boxer throws a punch and his opponent has 1 of 3 choices. He can either 1) (accidentally) move into the punch, 2) stand still 3) roll with the punch. Let’s try to understand how much force is applied to his opponent’s face. When a boxer hits his opponent, an Impulse is created that will change the motion of the opponent’s head. In each situation, we assume the change in momentum to be the same: Ft = Δp
18
Rocky IV Final Fight
19
If the opponent moves into the punch, what will happen to the amount of time the boxer’s fist interacts with his opponent’s face? What happens to the force? Time decreases because it spends less time changing his face’s momentum The force increases as time decreases
20
If the opponent stands still, what will happen to the amount of time compared with if he moves into the punch? What happens to the force that hits the boxer’s face? The boxer’s fist takes more time interacting with his face Less Force acting on his face
21
If the opponent rolls with the punch, what will happen to the amount of time compared with if he stands still? What happens to the force that hits the boxer’s face? The boxer’s fist takes the most time interacting with his face Least amount of force acts on the opponent’s face
22
So assuming that the change in momentum of an object remains the same, what’s the relationship between the force acting on the object and the time it acts on the object? Inversely Proportional As the time of interaction increases, the force acting on the object decreases
23
What is the Impulse-momentum theorem? The change in an object’s momentum is equal to the impulse acting on the object I = Δp If we break into variables Ft = mΔv *note – Δ means “change in”
24
How does an air bag help prevent a person from serious injury? The bag increases the amount of time to slow your head down Reduces the force acting on your head
25
Can you name some situations where we use this concept everyday? You give some examples… Airbags Seatbelts Padding (in football, gym equipment) Water barrels at corner of highway exits
26
Do you remember what Newton’s Third Law of Motion is? (it’s important!) For every action (or force), there is an equal and opposite reaction (or force)
27
Imagine two pool balls rolling towards each other. How does Newton’s 3 rd Law apply? Each ball applies an equal and opposite force on each other F 1 = F 2
28
What about the amount of time the two balls interact with each other? The collisions takes place over one set amount of time; there is no change. Time is constant
29
What can we say about the impulse acting on each ball? Remember…Impulse = Force X Time The impulse from each ball is equal and opposite
30
What can we say about the change in momentum of each ball? Remember…Impulse-Momentum Theorem? The changes in momentum are equal and opposite
31
What is the law of Conservation of Momentum? The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision Momentum is ALWAYS CONSERVED!!!!
32
Astronaut Richard Garriott discussing Momentum
33
Two skaters initially at rest push against each other so that they move in opposite directions. What is the total momentum before they push off of each other? Total momentum is zero, since there is no velocity.
34
What is the total momentum after they push off? Explain this even if they’re moving. Total momentum is zero, according to conservation of momentum. The velocities are equal and opposite.
35
After a gun is shot, explain what happens. Why does this occur? The gun recoils…shoves backward Because the bullet is shot outward at high speed, the gun is shoved backwards
36
What is the law of Conservation of Momentum? The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision Momentum is ALWAYS CONSERVED!!!!
37
What’s wrong with this clip?
38
After watching the video clip, explain using Conservation of Momentum why this can’t happen. The total momentum of the bullet should equal the total momentum of the person. Approximate bullet speed – 400 m/s Bullet mass – about.01 kg Thus momentum of bullet is 4 kgm/s If man has a mass of 90 kg, what is his calculated speed?
39
An astronaut working in space finds himself drifting away from the shuttle. He forgets his zip cord and has no propulsion device. The only object he has is a large wrench. Using the concept of Conservation of Momentum, what could he do in order to safely get back to the shuttle? Throw the wrench away from the shuttle Conservation of momentum says he will be propelled in the opposite direction of the wrench
40
What is the law of Conservation of Momentum? The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision Momentum is ALWAYS CONSERVED!!!!
41
Explain why can’t this happen?
42
What are the 3 types of Collisions Elastic Collision Inelastic Collision Perfectly Inelastic Collision
43
Elastic Collision Objects collide and separate w/ NO deformation Both momentum & kinetic energy are conserved Approximate Examples: Playing pool Marbles Exact Examples: Atoms colliding
44
Inelastic Collision Objects collide and split apart w/ SOME deformation Momentum is conserved Some Kinetic Energy is lost Examples: Bumper cars Boxing punch Kicking Soccer ball
45
Perfectly Inelastic Collision Objects collide and stick together Momentum is conserved Some Kinetic Energy is lost Examples: Football tackle Bug on a windshield Hockey puck and glove
46
