4. I. Center of mass The center of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point that moves as though all the mass were concentrated there and all external forces were applied there.

5. System of particles: Origin of reference system coincides with m 1 Two particles of masses m 1 and m 2 separated by a distance d

6. System of particles: General: The center of mass lies somewhere between the two particles. Choice of the reference origin is arbitrary  Shift of the coordinate system but center of mass is still at the same distance from each particle. M = total mass of the system

7. 3D: System of particles: We can extend this equation to a general situation for n particles that strung along x-axis. The total mass of the system M=m 1 +m 2 +m 3 +……+m n The location of center of the mass:

8. 3D: The vector form Position of the particle: M = mass of the object object System of particles: Position COM:

9. Solid bodies: Continuous distribution of matter. Particles = dm (differential mass elements). 3D: M = mass of the object Assumption: Uniform objects  uniform density

10. The center of mass of an object with a point, line or plane of symmetry lies on that point, line or plane. The center of mass of an object does not need to lie within the object (Examples: doughnut, horseshoe )

11. Problem solving tactics: (1) Use object’s symmetry. (2) If possible, divide object in several parts. Treat each of these parts as a particle located at its own center of mass. (3) Chose your axes wisely. Use one particle of the system as origin of your reference system or let the symmetry lines be your axis.

17. II. Newton’s second law for a system of particles Center of the mass of the system moves as a particle whose mass is equal to the total mass of the system. Motion of the center of mass: F net is the net of all external forces that act on the system. Internal forces (from one part of the system to another) are not included. The system is closed: no mass enters or leaves the system during the movement. (M=total system mass). a com is the acceleration of the system’s center of mass. a com is the acceleration of the system’s center of mass.

18. Prove: (*) includes forces that the particles of the system exert on each other (internal forces) and forces exerted on the particles from outside the system (external). Newton’s third law  internal forces from third-law force pairs cancel out in the sum (*)  Only external forces.

19. Linear Momentum The linear momentum of a particle or an object that can be modeled as a particle of mass m moving with a velocity v is defined to be the product of the mass and velocity: p = m v The terms momentum and linear momentum will be used interchangeably in the text

20. III. Linear momentum The linear momentum of a particle is a vector p defined as: Momentum is a vector with magnitude equal mv and have direction of v. SI unit of the momentum is kg-meter/second Momentum can be expressed in component form: p x = m v x p y = m v y p z = m v z

21. Newton II law in terms of momentum: The time rate of change of the momentum of a particle is equal to the net force acting on the particle and is in the direction of the force. Newton called the product mv the quantity of motion of the particle

22. System of particles: The total linear moment P is the vector sum of the individual particle’s linear momentum. The linear momentum of a system of particles is equal to the product of the total mass M of the system and the velocity of the center of mass. Net external force acting on the system.

23. Conservation: If no external force acts on a closed, isolated system of particles, the total linear momentum P of the system cannot change. Closed: no matter passes through the system boundary in any direction. boundary in any direction.

24. If the component of the net external force on a closed system is zero along an axis  component of the linear momentum along that axis cannot change. The momentum is constant if no external forces act on a closed particle system. internal forces can change the linear momentum of portions of the system, but they cannot change the total linear momentum of the entire system. If no net external force acts on the system of particles the total linear momentum P of the system cannot change. Each component of the linear momentum is conserved separately if the corresponding component of the net external force is zero. Conservation of Linear Momentum

25. IV. Collision and impulse Collision: isolated event in which two or more bodies exert relatively strong forces on each other for a relatively short time. Single collision Measures the strength and duration of the collision force Third law force pair F R = - F L Impulse:

26. Impulse-linear momentum theorem The change in the linear momentum of a body in a collision is equal to the impulse that acts on that body. Units: kg m/s F avg such that: Area under F(t) vs Δt curve = Area under F avg vs t

27. An estimated force-time curve for a baseball struck by a bat is shown in Figure. From this curve, determine (a) the impulse delivered to the ball, (b) the average force exerted on the ball, and (c) the peak force exerted on the ball.

28. (a) area under curve (b) (c) (c)

29. V. Momentum and kinetic energy in collisions Assumptions: Closed systems (no mass enters or leaves them) Isolated systems (no external forces act on the bodies within the system) Isolated systems (no external forces act on the bodies within the system) Elastic collision: If the total kinetic energy of the system of two colliding bodies is unchanged (conserved) by the collision. Inelastic collision: The kinetic energy of the system is not conserved  some goes into thermal energy, sound, etc. Example: Ball into hard floor. Completely inelastic collision: After the collision the bodies lose energy and stick together. Example: Ball of wet putty into floor

30. Velocity of the center of mass: In a closed, isolated system, the velocity of COM of the system cannot be changed by a collision. (No net external force). Completely inelastic collision  V = v com

31. VII. Elastic collisions in 1D Closed, isolated system  In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of each colliding body may change, but the total kinetic energy of the system does not change. Stationary target: Linear momentum Kinetic energy

32. v 2f >0 always v 1f >0 if m 1 >m 2  forward mov. v 1f <0 if m 1 <m 2  rebounds Stationary target: Equal masses: m 1 =m 2  v 1f =0 and v 2f = v 1i  In head-on collisions bodies of equal masses simply exchange velocities.

33. Massive target: m 2 >>m 1  v 1f ≈ -v 1i and v 2f ≈ (2m 1 /m 2 )v 1i  Body 1 bounces back with approximately same speed. Body 2 moves forward at low speed. Massive projectile: m 1 >>m 2  v 1f ≈ v 1i and v 2f ≈ 2v 1i  Body 1 keeps on going scarcely lowed by the collision. Body 2 charges ahead at twice the initial speed of the projectile.

34. VII. Elastic collisions in 1D Closed, isolated system  Moving target: Linear momentum Kinetic energy

35. VIII. Collisions in 2D Closed, isolated system  Linear momentum conserved Kinetic energy conserved Elastic collision  Example: If the collision is elastic 

50. Rocket Propulsion The operation of a rocket depends upon the law of conservation of linear momentum as applied to a system of particles, where the system is the rocket plus its ejected fuel. IV. Systems with varying mass The initial mass of the rocket plus all its fuel is M + Δm at time t i and velocity v The initial momentum of the system is p i = (M + Δm) v

51. Rocket Propulsion At some time t + Δt, the rocket’s mass has been reduced to M and an amount of fuel, Δm has been ejected. The rocket’s speed has increased by Δv

52. Because the gases are given some momentum when they are ejected out of the engine, the rocket receives a compensating momentum in the opposite direction Therefore, the rocket is accelerated as a result of the “push” from the exhaust gases In free space, the center of mass of the system (rocket plus expelled gases) moves uniformly, independent of the propulsion process Rocket Propulsion

53. IV. Systems with varying mass Example: most of the mass of a rocket on its launching is fuel that gets burned during the travel. System: rocket + exhaust products Closed and isolated  mass of this system does not change as the rocket accelerates. P=const  P i =P f P=const  P i =P f Linear momentum of exhaust products released during the interval dt Linear momentum of rocket at the end of dt Afterdt After dt

The basic equation for rocket propulsion isThe basic equation for rocket propulsion is The increase in rocket speed is proportional to the speed of the escape gases (v e )The increase in rocket speed is proportional to the speed of the escape gases (v e ) –So, the exhaust speed should be very high The increase in rocket speed is also proportional to the natural log of the ratio M i / M fThe increase in rocket speed is also proportional to the natural log of the ratio M i / M f –So, the ratio should be as high as possible, meaning the mass of the rocket should be as small as possible and it should carry as much fuel as possible

57. Thrust The thrust on the rocket is the force exerted on it by the ejected exhaust gasesThe thrust on the rocket is the force exerted on it by the ejected exhaust gases Thrust = Thrust = The thrust increases as the exhaust speed increasesThe thrust increases as the exhaust speed increases The thrust increases as the rate of change of mass increasesThe thrust increases as the rate of change of mass increases –The rate of change of the mass is called the rate of fuel consumption or burn rate
