Impulse and Momentum AP Physics Which do you think has more momentum? Change in momentum Like any change, change in momentum is calculated by looking at final and initial momentums. Dp = pf – pi Dp: change in momentum pf: final momentum pi: initial momentum Impulse = ∆Momentum Consider Newton’s 2nd Law and the definition of acceleration Units of Impulse: Units of Momentum: Ns Kg x m/s Momentum is defined as “Inertia in Motion” Impulse is the Area Since J=Ft, Impulse is the AREA of a Force vs. Time graph. Impulsive Forces Usually high magnitude, short duration. Suppose the ball hits the bat at 90 mph and leaves the bat at 90 mph, what is the magnitude of the momentum change? What is the change in the magnitude of the momentum? Example A 100 g ball is dropped from a height of h = 2.00 m above the floor. It rebounds vertically to a height of h'= 1.50 m after colliding with the floor. (a) Find the momentum of the ball immediately before it collides with the floor and immediately after it rebounds, (b) Determine the average force exerted by the floor on the ball. Assume that the time interval of the collision is 0.01 seconds. How about a collision? Consider 2 objects speeding toward each other. When they collide...... Due to Newton’s 3rd Law the FORCE they exert on each other are EQUAL and OPPOSITE. The TIMES of impact are also equal. F1 F2 t1 t 2 ( Ft )1 ( Ft ) 2 J1 J 2 Therefore, the IMPULSES of the 2 objects colliding are also EQUAL How about a collision? If the Impulses are equal then the change in MOMENTUMS are also equal! Momentum is conserved! The Law of Conservation of Momentum: “In the absence of an external force (gravity, friction), the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.” Law of Conservation of Momentum If the resultant external force on a system is zero, then the vector sum of the momentums of the objects will remain constant. SPbefore = SPafter Sample problem A 75-kg man sits in the back of a 120-kg canoe that is at rest in a still pond. If the man begins to move forward in the canoe at 0.50 m/s relative to the shore, what happens to the canoe? Collision Types Elastic collisions Also called “hard” collisions No deformation occurs, no kinetic energy lost Inelastic collisions Deformation occurs, kinetic energy is lost Perfectly Inelastic (stick together) Objects stick together and become one object Deformation occurs, kinetic energy is lost Sample Problem A fish moving at 2 m/s swallows a stationary fish which is 1/3 its mass. What is the velocity of the big fish after dinner? Example Granny (m=80 kg) whizzes around the rink with a velocity of 6 m/s. She suddenly collides with Ambrose (m=40 kg) who is at rest directly in her path. Rather than knock him over, she picks him up and continues in motion without "braking." Determine the velocity of Granny and Ambrose. Elastic Collision In elastic collisions, there is no deformation of colliding objects, and no change in kinetic energy of the system. Therefore, two basic equations must hold for all elastic collisions Spb = Spa (momentum conservation) SKb = SKa (kinetic energy conservation) What happens if we have two unknowns? At an amusement park, a 96.0 kg bumper car moving with a speed of 1.24 m/s bounces elastically off a 135 kg bumper car at rest. Find the final velocities of the cars. Let subscript 1 refer to the 96.0kg car and subscript 2 refer to the 135 kg car. Use momentum conservation. m1v1 m2v2 m1v1f m2v2f Use conservation of kinetic energy. 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 m1v1 m2 v2 m1v1f m2 v2f 2 . 2 2 2 2 Rearranging the first equation gives m1 (v1 v1f ) 1. m2 (v2f v2 ) Rearranging the second equation gives m1 (v12 v1f 2 ) m2 (v2f 2 v22 ) 1 m1 (v1 v1f )(v1 v1f ) . m2 (v2f v2 )(v2f v2 ) Comparing these two equations implies that (v1 v1f ) 1, (v2f v2 ) or v2f v1 v1f v2 . Substitute for v2f in the first equation and solve for v1f . m1v1 m2 v2 m1v1f m2 (v1 v1f v2 ) (m1 m2 )v1 2m2 v2 (m1 m2 )v1f m1 m2 2m2 v1f v1 v2 m1 m2 m1 m2 Since v2f v1 v1f v2 , v1f v2f v2 v1. Substitute for v1f in the first equation and solve for m1v1 m2v2 m1 (v2f v2 v1 ) m2v2f 2m1v1 (m2 m1 )v2 (m1 m2 )v2f v2f . Sample Problem A 500-g cart moving at 2.0 m/s on an air track elastically strikes a 1,000-g cart at rest. What are the resulting velocities of the two carts? 2D Inelastic Collisions must rely on the Conservation of Momentum: Example: A car with a mass of 950 kg and a speed of 16 m/s approaches an intersection, as shown. A 1300 kg minivan traveling at 21 m/s is heading for the same intersection. The car and minivan collide and stick together. Find the speed and direction of the wrecked vehicles just after the collision, assuming external forces can be ignored.
