Impulse momentum theorem

A mass of 10.0 kg is accelerated from 5 m/s
to 12 m/s in 2 seconds. Calculate the change
in momentum, the impulse required, the force
that must be applied and the distance traveled
in this event.
Linear collision

Glider A of mass 0.355 kg moves along a
frictionless air track with a velocity of 0.095
m/s. It collides with glider B of mass 0.710
kg moving in the same direction at a speed of
0.045 m/s. After the collision, glider A
continues to move in the same direction but
with a velocity of 0.35 m/s. What is the
velocity of B after the collision? Review this
problem in 2009
Collisions at an angle.

Sample problem 2.

A 0.5 kg ball collides with another ball at rest
of mass 1.0 kg. After the collision, the 1.0 kg
ball moves away at an angle of 60o with a
velocity of 2.0 m/s. The 0.5 kg ball rolls at an
angle of 135 at 3.0 m/s. What was the
momentum of the 0.5 kg ball before the
collision?
Collisions at an angle..

Sample problem 1

Two bicyclists approach an intersection, one
from the east with a mass of 110 kg and one
from the south with a mass of 140 kg and is
traveling at 25 m/s. They collide and the
bicycles become locked together. The two
move and an angle of 300o. What was the
speed of the 110 kg cyclist?
Collisions at an angle


Sample problem
An object of mass 15.0 kg and a velocity of 2.00
m/s collides with a stationary object having the same
mass. After the collision, the first object moves
along a line that makes an angle of 400 to the right of
the original path. The second object moves at an
angle of 100o to the left of the path of the first object
after the collision. A) Determine the momentum of
each object after the collision. B) Calculate the
speed of each object after the collision.

Stopping distance.
A 2500 kg car traveling to the north is slowed down uniformly from an
initial velocity of 20.0 m/s bya 6250 N braking force acting opposite the
car’s motion. Use the impulse momentum theorem to answer the
following questions:
A. What is the car’s velocity after 2.50 seconds?
B. How far does the car move during the 2.50 seconds?
C. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop?

kg fires a thruster that expels 85 g of hot gas
at 875 m/s. What is the velocity of the
astronaut after firing the shot?
Explosions – internal force

An explosion blows a rock into three parts by
internal force. Two pieces go off at right
angles to each other; a 1.0 kg piece at 12 m/s
and a 2.0 kg piece at 8.0 m/s. The third piece
flies off at 40 m/s. What is the mass of the
third piece? What was the mass of the rock?
