10. Newton’s Third Law
A bug with a mass of 5 grams flies into the windshield of a moving 1000kg bus.
Which will have the most force?
The bug on the bus
The bus on the bug

11. Newton’s Third Law The force would be the same. Force (bug)= m x A
Force (bus)= M x a
Think I look bad?
You should see
the other guy!

12. Newton’s Third Law The force would be the same. WHY???
Bus = greater mass, greater inertia
Bug cannot not change the inertia of the bus, but bug exerts same force on bus as bus on bug.

13. Newton’s Third Law The force would be the same. WHY???
Bus = greater mass, greater inertia
Bug cannot not change the inertia of the bus, but bug exerts same force on bus as bus on bug.

14. Action and Reaction on Different Masses
Consider you and the earth
Action: earth pulls on you
Reaction: you pull on earth

15. Action: tire pushes on road Reaction: road pushes on tire

16. Reaction: gases push on rocket
Action: rocket pushes on gases

18. Momentum
Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion.

19. Variables that affect momentum
The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables:
how much stuff is moving
how fast the stuff is moving.
Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. 
In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

20. Momentum equation
Momentum = mass • velocity p = m • v where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.

21. Newton’s 3rd Law
The more mass an object has the more momentum it has, so the harder it is to stop the object.
Ex. A car moving 20 m/s is harder to stop than a baseball moving at 20 m/s because the car has a greater mass and greater momentum.

22. Examples
1. Determine the momentum of a ...
60-kg halfback moving eastward at 9 m/s.
b kg car moving northward at 20 m/s.
c. 40-kg freshman moving southward at 2 m/s

23. Law of conservation of Momentum
In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one objects equals the gain in momentum of another object – momentum is CONSERVED

24. What is Law of Conservation of Momentum?

25. Conservation of momentum problems
1. In a collision, a 5 kg mass moving at 30 m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 15 kg mass. What is the velocity of the 15 kg mass after the collision?

26. Conservation of momentum problems
Advanced only! 2. A 15 kg mass moving at 15 m/s collides with a stationary 12 kg mass. After the collision, both the 15 and the 12 kg mass move off in the same direction. If the 12 kg mass is moving at 5 m/s, what is the speed of the 15 kg mass? 3. An 18 kg mass moving at 8 m/s collides with a 16 kg mass moving in the same direction at 6 m/s. After the collision, both the 18 and the 16 kg mass continue to move in the same direction. If the 18 kg mass is moving at 5 m/s, what is the speed of the 16 kg mass?

27. Review Newton’s First Law:
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton’s Second Law:
Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
Newton’s Third Law:
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
