Impulse and Momentum
1) Definition
p = mv
2) Impulse
For a constant force,
r
J  Ft
From the 2nd law,
r

If the force is not constant, use the average force

m1v1y  m2 v2 y  m1v1y  m2 v2 y
If initial conditions are known, this
gives 2 equations, with 4 unknowns,
so more information is needed.

7) Conservation of momentum in 2d
a) Inelastic collision: p1’ = p2’ = p’ reduces unknowns to
px’ and py’
Example: Find v’ if m1 = 1450 kg, m2 = 1750 kg, v1 = 11.5 m/s, v2 = 15.5 m/ss

7) Conservation of momentum in 2d
b) Elastic collision: Energy conservation adds 3rd equation:

mv12  12 mv2 2  12 mv1 2  12 mv2 2
The last condition is determined by the shape & location of impact:
e.g.
F
For a billiard ball collision, the angle of the object ball is
determined by the line through the centres at the point of contact.

Conservation of energy

Therefore, by Pythagoras
  90º
8) Centre of Mass
a) Acceleration and force:
The centre-of-mass of a system of particles (or 3d object)
reacts to the sum of the forces like a point particle with a mass
equal to the total mass of the particles.
Ftotal
r
 mtotal aCM
If the total force is zero, the centre-of-mass does not
accelerate. (If there are no external forces, the internal
forces sum to zero by the 3rd law.)
r

For 2 masses, Ftotal  F1  F2 , where F1  m1a1 , and F2  m2 a2 are the
forces on the two masses
r
r
m a  m2 a2
aCM  1 1
m1  m2
8) Centre of Mass
b) Momentum and velocity
Since a = v/t,
r
r
m1 v1  m2 v2
r
vCM 
m1  m2
But, since vCM = 0 if v1 = 0 and v2 = 0, this becomess
vCM
r
r
m1v1  m2 v2

m1  m2
The numerator represents the total momentum, which is conserved
in the absence of external forces, so again, the centre-of-mass
velocity is constant. Note that the CM momentum is simply equal
to the total momentum:
r
r
r
(m1  m2 )vCM  m1v1  m2 v2
8) Centre of Mass
c) Position of the centre of mass
Since v = x/t, the above gives
r
r
m1 x1  m2 x2
r
xCM 
m1  m2
If 2 particles coincide, they also coincide with the CM, so
xCM
r
r
m1 x1  m2 x2

m1  m2
In one dimension,
For m1 = 5.0 kg, m2 = 12 kg, x1 = 2.0 m, and x2 = 6.0 m,
xCM = 4.8 m
