1. Momentum

2. Outcomes
You will define momentum as a vector quantity equal to the product of the mass and the velocity of an object

3. Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
“A body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external unbalanced (net) force”.
The unbalanced (or net force) on an object is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object.
E.g. 1. Forces of 7.0N east and 5.0N south act on an object. Calculate the net force on the object.
E.g. 2. Forces of 10.0N north, 15.0N south, 7.00N east and 18.0N west act on an object. Calculate the net force on the object.

4. Law of Inertia & Momentum
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion is also known as the Law of Inertia
Inertia is an objects ability to resist changes in motion based on it’s mass.
The idea of inertia is also known as momentum, which can be determined mathematically.

5. Momentum
Momentum is defined as the product of an object’s mass and velocity.
We can also relate the idea of momentum to Newton’s Second Law of Motion. How?

6. Sample Problems 1.0x10³ kg m/s [E] Ex. #1
A mass of 50 kg is moved due east at 20 m/s. Calculate its momentum.
1.0x10³ kg m/s [E]
Ex. #2
A baseball is thrown at 20 m/s and is hit back at 30 m/s. Calculate its change in momentum if the ball has a mass of 0.50 kg.
-25kg m/s

8. Impulse

9. Outcomes
You will explain, quantitatively, the concepts of impulse and change in momentum, using Newton’s laws of motion
You will explain that technological problems often require multiple solutions that involve different designs, materials and processes and that have both intended and unintended consequences
investigate the role of impulse and momentum in the design and function of rockets and thrust systems
assess the roles that conservation laws, the concepts of impulse and inertia and Newton’s laws play in the design and use of injury-prevention devices in vehicles and Sports
describe the limitations of applying the results from studies of isolated systems in solving a practical problem, as occurred with the early design and deployment of airbags.

10. Impulse
Impulse is defined as the product of the net force and the time the force acts.
Impulse = FΔt
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion: a net force will accelerate an object

11. Impulse-Momentum Theorem
A force applied over a time causes a change in momentum of the object.
So, impulse and momentum can be equated…
Impulse is measured in N s OR kg m/s

12. How Rockets Work

13. Discussion
Explain how the principals of momentum and impulse are used in the following:
Follow through during swing
Advanced materials for clubs, hockey sticks
Cushioning in running shoes
Padding in helmets
Air bags in cars (tested independent of entire car; other factors involved in crash that affected airbag performance)

14. Car Safety http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUpiV2I_IRI
The following are all designed to increase the time interval required to stop a motorist during a crash
Vehicle crumpling
Steering column collapses
Airbag leaks after inflating
Airbag also distributes force over a larger surface area

15. Sample Problems
Ex. #1
A net force of 12.0 N north acts on an object for 2.00x10-3 s. Calculate the impulse.
2.40x10¯²N s [N]
Ex. #2
A net force of 14.0 N acts south on a 6.00 kg object for 1.00 x 10-1 s. What is the change in velocity of the object?
0.233m/s [S]
