Center of Mass Linear Momentum
Chapter 9
2
Center of Mass the point in which the mass of an object can be considered to be concentrated the objects motion acts as if it’s mass is concentrated at that point the translational acceleration calculated by Newton’s second law Fnet = ma determines the motion of the object at it’s center of mass all gravitational forces exerted on the object is applied at that point
3
Calculating Center of Mass
The center of mass of an object can be found in all dimensions. (m1x1 + m2x mnxn) → ^ ^ ^ ______________________ vectorcom = rcom = xcomi + ycomj + zcomk xcom = (m1 + m mn) → → ___ 1 n Σ miri (m1y1 + m2y mnyn) rcom = ______________________ M ycom = i = 1 (m1 + m mn) (m1z1 + m2z mnzn) ______________________ zcom = (m1 + m mn)
4
Newton’s Second Law for a System of Particles
→ → Fnet = Macom → Fnet : net force of all external forces (internal forces not included) M = total mass of the system (closed system) → acom = acceration of the center of mass of the system → → Fnet,x = Macom,x → → Fnet,y = Macom,y → → Fnet,z = Macom,z
5
Conversion of Center of Mass Equation
→ rcom : gives position → → → → → dri → ___ Mrcom = m1r1 + m2r mnrn vi = dt → → → → → [Mrcom]` = Mvcom = m1v1 + m2v2 + … + mnvn → dvi → ___ ai = → → → → → dt [Mvcom]` = Macom = m1a1 + m2a2 + … + mnan → → → → → → m1a1 + m2a2 + … + mnan = F1 + F2 + … + Fn → → Fi = miai
6
Linear Momentum linear momentum of a particle = total mass of the system * velocity of its center of mass → → p = mv → the momentum of an particle acts in the same direction as the velocity of that particle because mass is a positive scaler quantity → → → P = p1 + p2 + … + pn → → → = m1v1 + m2v2 + … + mnvn → → P = Mvcom time rate of change of the momentum of a particle = net force acting on that particle and in the same direction → → dP ___ Fnet = dt → → → dp d → dvcom ___ ___ _____ Fnet = = (Mvcom) = M → = Macom dt dt dt therefore net external force changes the momentum of an object, thus momentum can only change due to an external force
7
Impulse ∫ ∫ ∫ → → → → impulse is defined as: dp = F(t) dt → → →
tf tf → ∫ → ∫ impulse is defined as: dp = F(t) dt ti ti → → → pf – pi = ∆p tf → → ∫ F(t)dt J = ti → → thus ∆p = J linear momentum – impulse theorem → → J = Favg∆t → → series of collisions : J = -n∆p n = # of projectiles → → → → → __ J __ -n -n __ ___ ∆m ∆p m∆v – ∆v Favg = = = = ∆t ∆t ∆t ∆t
8
Conservation of Linear Momentum
→ no external forces : Fnet = 0 momentum stays constant in a closed system → → Pi = Pf law of conservation of linear momentum if a component of net external force in a closed system = 0 along an axis, then the component of the linear momentum of the system along that system can not change
9
Collisions elastic collision: momentum AND kinetic energy conserved →
P1,i + P2,i = P1,f + P2,f conservation of momentum → → → → m1v1,i + m2v2,i = m1v1,f + m2v2,f K1,i + K2,i = K1,f + K2,f conservation of kinetic energy → → → → 1/2m1v1,i2 + 1/2m2v2,12 = 1/2m1v1,f2 + 1/2m2v2,f2 inelastic collision: momentum is conserved, kinetic energy IS NOT conserved → → → → P1,i + P2,i = P1,f + P2,f conservation of momentum → → → → m1v1,i + m2v2,i = m1v1,f + m2v2,f completely inelastic: bodies stick together
10
