Chapter 6 Momentum Momentum inertia and motion Newton’s “quantity of motion” helps us understand collisions and explosions Momentum and Collisions Elastic Collisions – objects rebound – e.g. superball Inelastic Collisions – object stick together an usually become distorted and generate heat – e.g. clay ball Momentum Momentum = mass velocity p = mv Momentum is a vector quantity. A large truck has more momentum than a car moving at the same speed because it has a greater mass. Which is more difficult to slow down? The car or the large truck? Large Momentum Examples: – Huge ship moving at a small velocity P = mv – High velocity bullet P = mv Impulse In order to change the momentum of an object you must apply a force over some time interval. Impulse = Force time interval = Ft Impulse and Momentum Impulse = Change in Momentum = Final (mv) - Initial (mv) F t = D(mv) Case 1: Increasing Momentum – Apply a force for a long time. – Examples: • Follow through on a golf swing. – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy9GTAENiJA • Pushing a car. F Dt Case 2: Decreasing Momentum – Apply a force for a long time. – Examples: • Air bags in cars. – – – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlWJayKWvw0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Av0WGrlTGY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ogrMr4lWc • Catching an egg. • Boxing, Figure 6.6 • Soft collisions, Figure 6.3. F Dt Case 3: Decreasing Momentum – Apply a force for a short time. – Examples: • Boxing • Karate – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jttqJZ9sTBk F Dt Conservation of Momentum This means that the momentum doesn’t change. Recall that F t = D(mv) In this equation, F is the "external force". Internal forces cannot cause a change in momentum. Examples Conservation of Momentum: If there are no external forces, the total momentum for a system remains unchanged. Example 1: a person sitting inside a car pushing against the dashboard Example 2: a bullet fired from a rifle Example 3: a rocket is space Question Which has more momentum? – (A) A parked cruise ship – (B) You in your vehicle driving home Clicker Question 1. A force times time is most appropriately called (a) weight (b) impulse (c) velocity (d) momentum Clicker Question 2. Suppose two freight cars of equal mass are coupled by a collision. This is an example of (a) an elastic collision (b) an inelastic collision (c) none of the above Clicker Question 3. Which of the following is true about momentum? (a) it is a vector (b) it is a product of mass times velocity (c) impulses are required to change it (d) all of the above Clicker Question Example Problems...
