Suppose the disk is cut in half and the pieces arranged as shown in (2). Where is the center of mass of (2) as compared to (1) ? The CM of each half is closer to the top of the semicircle than the bottom. The CM of the whole system is located at the midpoint of the two semicircle CMs, which is higher than the yellow line.

Consider for now only two objects. Let the net external force = 0. Internal forces are not considered. Momentum is conserved. *** In general, kinetic energy is not conserved. *** Kinds of Collisions 1 m v2 1 m v2 ? 1 m v' 2 1 m v' 2 2 A A 2 B B 2 A A 2 B B Elastic collision – kinetic energy (K or KE) is conserved. (definition of elastic collision.) Inelastic collision – KE not conserved due to lost energy (heat, sound, deformation, etc.) Perfectly inelastic collision – objects coalesce together. Do demo with air track cars. Remember that linear momentum is always conserved in all collisions with no external force – elastic or inelastic. • One dimensional collisions are easiest to consider. • In two dimensions, linear momentum is conserved in both directions. It is a vector. Collisions in Two or Three Dimensions Conservation of energy and momentum can also be used to analyze collisions in two or three dimensions, but unless the situation is very simple, the math quickly becomes unwieldy. Here, a moving object collides with an object initially at rest. Knowing the masses and initial velocities is not enough; we need to know the angles as well in order to find the final velocities.

B) smaller than that given to the car by the truck. C) equal to that given to the car by the truck. D) dependent upon the collision being elastic or inelastic. Answer: C - they are equal Remember that impulse is equal to the change in linear momentum. There are no external forces. Linear momentum is conserved. An Elastic Collision Between Two Air Carts m1 m2 Elastic Collisions Between Air Carts of Various Masses Equal mass Elastic Collisions Between Air Carts of Various Masses m2 m1 Elastic Collisions Between Air Carts of Various Masses m1 m2 Relative velocities in head-on elastic collisions are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Used often in problems. Easier than conserving kinetic energy. v A vB (v A ' vB ') Projectile Explosion. A 224-kg projectile, fired with a speed of 116 m/s at a 60.0° angle, breaks into three pieces of equal mass at the highest point of its arc (where its velocity is horizontal). Two of the fragments move with the same speed right after the explosion as the entire projectile had just before the explosion; one of these moves vertically downward and the other horizontally. Determine (a) the velocity of the third fragment immediately after the explosion and (b) the energy released in the explosion. Center of Mass The center of mass is special because the object acts in many cases as if all the mass of an object is concentrated at that point. The center of mass of an object is the point where the system is balanced in a uniform gravitational field. The Center of Mass of Two Objects No rotation!

In the limit that the particles become infinitely small, this gives: rCM m r rCM i i M 1 r dm M Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The center of gravity is the point at which the gravitational force can be considered to act. It is the same as the center of mass as long as the gravitational force does not vary among different parts of the object. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

B) the truck C) they both have the same momentum change D) can’t tell without knowing the final velocities Conceptual Quiz A) the car A small car and a large truck collide head-on and stick together. Which one has the larger momentum change? B) the truck C) they both have the same momentum change D) can’t tell without knowing the final velocities Because the total momentum of the system is conserved, that means that p = 0 for the car and truck combined. Therefore, pcar must be equal and opposite to that of the truck (–ptruck) in order for the total momentum change to be zero. Note that this conclusion also follows from Newton’s Third Law.

Which fragment has the greater momentum? A) the heavy one B) the light one C) both have the same momentum D) impossible to say The initial momentum of the uranium was zero, so the final total momentum of the two fragments must also be zero. Thus the individual momenta are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. 1 2 Conceptual Quiz If all three collisions below are totally inelastic, which one(s) will bring the car on the left to a complete halt? A) B) C) D) E) only I only II I and II II and III all three Conceptual Quiz If all three collisions below are totally inelastic, which one(s) will bring the car on the left to a complete halt? In case I, the solid wall clearly stops the car. In cases II and III, because ptot = 0 before the collision, then ptot must also be zero after the collision, which means that the car comes to a halt in all three cases.
