1. Linear Momentum
This comes from peggy’s work energy notes

2. What characteristics of an object would make it hard to stop or turn?
Momentum is a measure of how hard it is to stop or turn a moving object.
What characteristics of an object would make it hard to stop or turn?
For one particle
p = mv
Note that momentum is a vector with the same direction as the velocity!
NO VELOCITY = NO MOMENTUM
For a system of multiple particles
p = Σpi --- add up the vectors
The unit of momentum is…
kg m/s or Ns

3. Calculate the momentum of a 65-kg sprinter running east at 10 m/s.
Calculate the momentum of a system composed of a 65-kg sprinter running east at 10 m/s and a 75-kg sprinter running north at 9.5 m/s.
p = mv
p = 65 Kg ·10 m/s = 65 kg·m/s east Px
A2 + b2 = c2
System: 2 runners Py
P12 + P22 = P2
P=√(P12 + P22)
P=√(ΣPx)2 + (ΣPy)2)
p = mv
P=√((mxvx)2 + Σ(myvy)2)
P1 + P2 ≠ P
P=√((10m/s·65 kg)2 + (9.5 m/s·75 kg)2) = N·s

4. Calculate the momentum of a 65-kg sprinter running east at 10 m/s.
Calculate the momentum of a system composed of a 65-kg sprinter running east at 10 m/s and a 75-kg sprinter running north at 9.5 m/s.
p = 65 Kg ·10 m/s = 65 kg·m/s east
p = mv Px
Now need direction because momentum is a vector
System: 2 runners Py θ
θ = Tan-1 (O/A)
θ = Tan-1 (ΣPx / ΣPx )
p = mv
θ = Tan-1 (mxvx / myvy )
P1 + P2 ≠ P
θ = Tan-1 (65kg · 10m/s / 75kg · 9.5m/s ) = 42.37º E of N

5. Like any change, change in momentum is calculated by looking at final and initial momentums.
Δp = pf – pi
Δ p: change in momentum
pf: final momentum
pi: initial momentum
Using only a meter stick, find the momentum change of each ball when it strikes the desk from a height of exactly one meter.
Which ball, tennis or golf, has the greatest change in momentum?

6. In which case is the magnitude of the momentum change greatest?

7. Impulse is the product of an external force and time, which results in a change in momentum of a particle or system.
J = F t and J = ΔP
Therefore Ft = ΔP
Units: N s or kg m/s (same as momentum)

8. To increase momentum: exert more force or exert force for a longer period of time
Ex: follow through in sports – tennis, hockey, etc.
To decrease momentum: force must be in opposite direction of motion (negative)
Ex: friction, air resistance, tree slowing down a car
Changes in momentum caused by cushy objects have less force and more time than those caused by hard items.
Double time, cut force in half

9. Ex: Jump off a 3 meter platform onto concrete – time to slow down your motion is very small once you contact the cement so the force is great.
Jump off a 3 meter platform onto a thick mat – time to slow down your motion is extended because the matt gives so the force is lessened.
Ex: Car crumple zones increase the time of impact so that less force is exerted causing fewer injuries to passengers.
Ex: bending legs when landing, moving away from a punch, stretchy cord when bungee jumping

10. Usually high magnitude, short duration.
Suppose the ball hits the bat at 90 mph and leaves the bat at 90 mph, what is the magnitude of the momentum change?

12. Suppose a 1.5-kg brick is dropped on a glass table top from a height of 20 cm.
What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse necessary to stop the brick?
If the table top doesn’t shatter, and stops the brick in 0.01 s, what is the average force it exerts on the brick?
What is the average force that the brick exerts on the table top during this period?
Vf=Vi + at
J = ΔP
d = 0.5at2
t= √(2·0.2m/9.8m/s2) = 0.202s
Vf=0m/s + (-9.8 m/s2· 0.202s) = m/s
t= √(2d/a)
J = 1.5kg· 0m/s – (-1.5kg· 1.98m/s) = kg· m/s
J = Pf - Pi
J = mvf – mvf
Ft = ΔP
F = ΔP/t
F = kg· m/s / 0.01s = N

This force acts on a 1.2 kg object moving at m/s. The direction of the force is aligned with the velocity. What is the new velocity of the object?

14. A 75-kg man sits in the back of a 120-kg canoe that is at rest in a still pond. If the man begins to move forward in the canoe at 0.50 m/s relative to the shore, what happens to the canoe?
F = 2500 N m = 1.2 kg t = 0.1s vi = 120m/s vf = ?
Ft = mv
v = Ft/m
v = 2500N· 0.1s/1.2Kg
v = m/s + 120m/s =328.3 m/s

15. External forces: forces coming from outside the system of particles whose momentum is being considered. External forces change the momentum of the system.
Internal forces: forces arising from interaction of articles within a system. Internal forces cannot change momentum of the system.
mman = 75kg mcanoe = 120kg vman = 0.5m/s vcanoe = ?
ΣPi = ΣPf
0=vcanoemcanoe + vmanmman
vcanoe = - vmanmman / mcanoe
vcanoe = m/s· 75 kg / 120kg = m/s

16. EXTERNAL FORCE EXAMPLE
System
Pi ≠Pf
The club head exerts an external impulsive force on the ball and changes its momentum.
The acceleration of the ball is greater because its mass is smaller.

17. INTERNAL FORCE EXAMPLE
The forces the balls exert on each other are internal and do not change the momentum of the system.
Since the balls have equal masses, the magnitude of their accelerations is equal.
Pi = Pf
System

18. Explosions
When an object separates suddenly, as in an explosion, all forces are internal.
Momentum is therefore conserved in an explosion.
There is also an increase in kinetic energy in an explosion. This comes from a potential energy decrease due to chemical combustion.
Recoil
Guns and cannons “recoil” when fired.
This means the gun or cannon must move backward as it propels the projectile forward.
The recoil is the result of action-reaction force pairs, and is entirely due to internal forces. As the gases from the gunpowder explosion expand, they push the projectile forwards and the gun or cannon backwards.

19. Collision
When two moving objects make contact with each other, they undergo a collision.
Conservation of momentum is used to analyze all collisions.
Newton’s Third Law is also useful. It tells us that the force exerted by body A on body B in a collision is equal and opposite to the force exerted on body B by body A.

20. Collisions Continued System
During a collision, external forces are ignored.
The time frame of the collision is very short.
The forces are impulsive forces (high force, short duration).
System

21. Collision Types Elastic collisions Also called “hard” collisions
No deformation occurs, no kinetic energy lost
Inelastic collisions
Deformation occurs, kinetic energy is lost
Perfectly Inelastic (stick together)
Objects stick together and become one object

22. (Perfectly) Inelastic Collision
Simplest type of collisions.
After the collision, there is only one velocity, since there is only one object.
Kinetic energy is lost.
Explosions are the reverse of perfectly inelastic collisions in which kinetic energy is gained!

23. Example Problem Inelastic collision (stick together)
An 80-kg roller skating grandma collides inelastically with a 40-kg kid.
What is their velocity after the collision?
How much kinetic energy is lost?

m1iv1i + m2iv2i = m1fv1f + m2fv2f
m1iv1i + m2iv2i = (m1f + m2f)vf
vf = m1iv1i + m2iv2i / (m1f + m2f)

θ = Tan -1 (1300 kg· 21 m/s / 950 kg · 16 m/s) = º

29. Conservation of Momentum
For a closed system (no external forces), total momentum remains the same.
Momentum cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred from one object to another.
Ex:
Cannon with cannon ball ready to fire has 0 kgm/s of momentum.
Cannon firing –-> cannon exerts force on cannon ball, cannon ball exerts same force back on the cannon.

30. These forces occur over the same time period.
Cannon ball and cannon have equal and opposite impulses () – they add up to zero.
Because the cannon has more mass, it accelerates less than the cannon ball.
The acceleration of the cannon is called recoil – it moves backwards because the cannon ball is shot out forward.

31. Suppose a 5.0-kg projectile launcher shoots a 209 gram projectile at 350 m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the projectile launcher?

v3 = Ns / 3.0 kg = m/s

33. ΣPb = Σ Pa (momentum conservation)
In elastic collisions, there is no deformation of colliding objects, and no change in kinetic energy of the system. Therefore, two basic equations must hold for all elastic collisions
ΣPb = Σ Pa (momentum conservation)
Σ Kb = Σ Ka (kinetic energy conservation
A 500-g cart moving at 2.0 m/s on an air track elastically strikes a 1,000-g cart at rest. If the 500 g cart has a velocity of 1 m/s after the collision, what are the resulting velocities of the two carts?
