Momentum and Energy “Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.” —H. G. Wells

Momentum a property of moving things means inertia in motion
more specifically, mass of an object multiplied by its velocity in equation form: mass  velocity (momentum = mv)

Momentum example: A moving boulder has more momentum than a stone rolling at the same speed. A fast boulder has more momentum than a slow boulder. A boulder at rest has no momentum.

A moving object has ________________.
Momentum CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR A moving object has ________________. A. momentum energy speed all of the above D. all of the above.

A moving object has ________________.
Momentum CHECK YOUR ANSWER A moving object has ________________. A. momentum energy speed all of the above D. all of the above.

When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum ________________.
CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum ________________. A. remains unchanged in accord with the conservation of momentum doubles quadruples decreases B. doubles.

When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum ________________.
CHECK YOUR ANSWER When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum ________________. A. remains unchanged in accord with the conservation of momentum doubles quadruples decreases B. doubles.

Impulse Impulse example: product of force and time (force  time)
in equation form: impulse = Ft example: A brief force applied over a short time interval produces a smaller change in momentum than the same force applied over a longer time interval. or If you push with the same force for twice the time, you impart twice the impulse and produce twice the change in momentum.

Impulse Changes Momentum
The greater the impulse exerted on something, the greater the change in momentum. in equation form: Ft = (mv)

CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR When the force that produces an impulse acts for twice as much time, the impulse is ________________. A. not changed doubled quadrupled halved B. increased by twice.

CHECK YOUR ANSWER When the force that produces an impulse acts for twice as much time, the impulse is ________________. A. not changed doubled quadrupled halved B. increased by twice.

Case 1: increasing momentum Apply the greatest force for as long as possible, and you extend the time of contact. Force can vary throughout the duration of contact. examples: golfer swings a club and follows through baseball player hits a ball and follows through

CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR A cannonball shot from a cannon with a long barrel will emerge with greater speed because the cannonball receives a greater ________________. A. average force impulse both of the above neither of the above B. impulse.

CHECK YOUR ANSWER A cannonball shot from a cannon with a long barrel will emerge with greater speed because the cannonball receives a greater ________________. A. average force impulse both of the above neither of the above Explanation: The force on the cannonball will be the same for a short- or long-barreled cannon. The longer barrel provides for a longer time for the force to act, and therefore, a greater impulse. (The long barrel also provides a longer distance for the force to act, providing greater work and greater kinetic energy of the cannonball.) B. impulse.

Case 2: decreasing momentum over a long time extend the time during which momentum is reduced

CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR A fast-moving car hitting a haystack or a cement wall produces vastly different results. 1. Do both experience the same change in momentum? 2. Do both experience the same impulse? 3. Do both experience the same force? A. yes for all three yes for 1 and 2 no for all three no for 1 and 2 B. Yes for 1 and 2.

CHECK YOUR ANSWER A fast-moving car hitting a haystack or hitting a cement wall produces vastly different results. 1. Do both experience the same change in momentum? 2. Do both experience the same impulse? 3. Do both experience the same force? A. yes for all three yes for 1 and 2 no for all three no for 1 and 2 Explanation: Although stopping the momentum is the same whether done slowly or quickly, the force is vastly different. Be sure to distinguish between momentum, impulse, and force. B. Yes for 1 and 2.

CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR When a dish falls, will the change in momentum be less if it lands on a carpet than if it lands on a hard floor? (Careful!) A. no, both are the same yes, less if it lands on the carpet no, less if it lands on a hard floor no, more if it lands on a hard floor A. No, both are the same.

CHECK YOUR ANSWER When a dish falls, will the change in momentum be less if it lands on a carpet than if it lands on a hard floor? (Careful!) A. no, both are the same yes, less if it lands on the carpet no, less if it lands on a hard floor no, more if it lands on a hard floor Explanation: The momentum becomes zero in both cases, so both change by the same amount. Although the momentum change and impulse are the same, the force is less when the time of momentum change is extended. Be careful to distinguish between force, impulse, and momentum. A. No, both are the same.

examples: When a car is out of control, it is better to hit a haystack than a concrete wall. physics reason: same impulse either way, but extension of hitting time reduces the force

example (continued): In jumping, bend your knees when your feet make contact with the ground because the extension of time during your momentum decrease reduces the force on you. In boxing, ride with the punch.

Case 3: decreasing momentum over a short time short time interval produces large force example: Karate expert splits a stack of bricks by bringing her arm and hand swiftly against the bricks with considerable momentum. Time of contact is brief and force of impact is huge.

Bouncing Impulses are generally greater when objects bounce. example:
Catching a falling flower pot from a shelf with your hands: You provide the impulse to reduce its momentum to zero. If you throw the flower pot up again, you provide an additional impulse. This “double impulse” occurs when something bounces.

Bouncing Pelton wheel designed to “bounce” water when it makes a U-turn as it impacts the curved paddle

Conservation of Momentum
Law of conservation of momentum: In the absence of an external force, the momentum of a system remains unchanged.

examples: When a cannon is fired, the force on cannonball inside the cannon barrel is equal and opposite to the force of the cannonball on the cannon. The cannonball gains momentum, while the cannon gains an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction—the cannon recoils. When no external force is present, no external impulse is present, and no change in momentum is possible.

examples (continued): Internal molecular forces within a baseball come in pairs, cancel one another out, and have no effect on the momentum of the ball. Molecular forces within a baseball have no effect on its momentum. Pushing against a car’s dashboard has no effect on its momentum.

Collisions For all collisions in the absence of external forces
net momentum before collision equals net momentum after collision in equation form: (net mv)before = (net mv)after

Collisions elastic collision
occurs when colliding objects rebound without lasting deformation or any generation of heat

Collisions inelastic collision
occurs when colliding objects result in deformation and/or the generation of heat

Collisions example of elastic collision:
single car moving at 10 m/s collides with another car of the same mass, m, at rest From the conservation of momentum, (net mv)before = (net mv)after (m  10)before = (2m  V)after V = 5 m/s

Compared with the initial speed of freight car A, the speed of the coupled freight cars is ________________. A. the same half twice none of the above Explanation: After the collision, the mass of the moving freight cars has doubled. Can you see that their speed is half the initial velocity of freight car A? B. half.

Energy A combination of energy and matter make up the universe. Energy
mover of substances both a thing and a process observed when it is being transferred or being transformed a conserved quantity

anything that can be turned into heat example: electromagnetic waves from the Sun Matter substance we can see, smell, and, feel occupies space

Work examples: twice as much work is done in lifting two loads one- story high versus lifting one load the same vertical distance reason: force needed to lift twice the load is twice as much twice as much work is done in lifting a load two stories instead of one story reason: distance is twice as great

Work example: Unit of work: Newton-meter (Nm) or Joule (J)

Potential Energy Potential Energy example:
stored energy held in readiness with a potential for doing work example: A stretched bow has stored energy that can do work on an arrow. A stretched rubber band of a slingshot has stored energy and is capable of doing work.

Potential Energy Gravitational potential energy
potential energy due to elevated position example: water in an elevated reservoir raised ram of a pile driver equal to the work done (force required to move it upward  the vertical distance moved against gravity) in lifting it in equation form: PE = mgh

Kinetic Energy Kinetic energy and work of a moving object
equal to the work required to bring it from rest to that speed, or the work the object can do while being brought to rest in equation form: net force  distance = kinetic energy, or Fd = 1/2 mv2

Work-Energy Theorem Work-energy theorem
gain or reduction of energy is the result of work in equation form: work = change in kinetic energy (W = KE) doubling speed of an object requires 4 times the work also applies to changes in potential energy

Conservation of Energy
Law of conservation of energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes.

Conservation of Energy
example: energy transforms without net loss or net gain in the operation of a pile driver

Conservation of Energy A situation to ponder…
Consider the system of a bow and arrow. In drawing the bow, we do work on the system and give it potential energy. When the bowstring is released, most of the potential energy is transferred to the arrow as kinetic energy, and some as heat to the bow.

A. energy is not conserved 10 joules go to warming the bow 10 joules go to warming the target 10 joules are mysteriously missing B. 10 joules go to warming the bow.

A situation to ponder… CHECK YOUR ANSWER
Suppose the potential energy of a drawn bow is 50 joules and the kinetic energy of the shot arrow is 40 joules. Then ________________. A. energy is not conserved 10 joules go to warming the bow 10 joules go to warming the target 10 joules are mysteriously missing Explanation: The total energy of the drawn bow, which includes the poised arrow is 50 joules. The arrow gets 40 joules and the remaining 10 joules warms the bow—still in the initial system. B. 10 joules go to warming the bow.

Kinetic Energy and Momentum Compared
Similarities between momentum and kinetic energy Both are properties of moving things. Difference between momentum and kinetic energy Momentum is a vector quantity; therefore it is directional and can be cancelled. Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity and can never be cancelled.

Kinetic Energy and Momentum Compared
velocity dependence Momentum depends on velocity. Kinetic energy depends on the square of velocity. example: An object moving with twice the velocity of another with the same mass, has twice the momentum but four times the kinetic energy.

Power Power measure of how fast work is done in equation form:

Power example: A worker uses more power running up the stairs than climbing the same stairs slowly. Twice the power of an engine can do twice the work of one engine in the same amount of time, or twice the work of one engine in half the time or at a rate at which energy is changed from one form to another.

Power Unit of power joule per second, called the watt after James Watt, developer of the steam engine 1 joule/second = 1 watt 1 kilowatt = 1000 watts

Machines Machine device for multiplying forces or changing the direction of forces cannot create energy but can transform energy from one form to another, or transfer energy from one location to another cannot multiply work or energy

Machines Principle of a machine conservation of energy concept:
work input = work output input force  input distance = output force  output distance (force  distance)input = (force  distance)output

Machines Simplest machine lever
