Momentum
Webster’s:
A property of a moving body that determines
the length of time required to bring it to rest
when under the action of a constant force or
moment.
“Moving Inertia”
What Quantities determine how
hard it is to stop an object?
• Mass
• Velocity
Which of the following has the most
momentum?
a) A person jogging down the street.
b) A Volkswagen Bug traveling down the
road.
c) A Hummer parked at the mall.
d) A freight train at the station.
p = mv
m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (m/s)
p = momentum ( kg•m/s = Ns)
momentum is a vector quantity, it has
magnitude and direction. Pay attention to
directions!!!!!!

An impulse is a change in
momentum, which is caused by
applying a force for a period of
time.

Graphically: The area of a force vs. t graph
is equal to the impulse or the p.

The same p can be produced by
applying a large force for a short
time or a small force for a long time

Example 1:
A net force of 8N acts on a 200g object for a period
of 5s.
(a) What is the change in momentum?
(b) Assuming the object starts from rest what is its
final velocity after 5 seconds?

Example 2:
A 300g ball strikes a wall horizontally with a
speed of 25m/s and bounces straight back with a
speed of 15m/s. The ball is in contact with the
wall for 5x10-3s. What average force does the
wall apply to the ball?
