to the stone for 10 s, determine the final velocity and the normal force
which the surface exerts on the stone during the time interval.

14. Conservation of Linear Momentum for a System of Particles
When the sum of the external impulses acting on a system of a particle
is zero,
Nonimpulsive force : - impulse that may be neglected
- considered equal to zero
Impulsive : forces that are very large and act for a very short
period of time
produce significant change in momentum

15. The force of the rackets on the ball is impulsive
The ball’s weight will have the negligible effect,  nonimpulsive

The 600 kg cannon shown fires a 4 kg projectile with a muzzle velocity
450 m/s relative to the ground. If firing takes place in 0.03 s, determine
(a) the recoil velocity of the cannon just after firing
(b) the average impulsive force acting on the projectile
The cannon support is fixed to the ground, and the horizontal recoil of
the cannon is absorbed by two springs.

24. Impact
Impact occurs when two bodies collide with each other during a very
short period of time, causing relatively large (impulsive ) forces to be
exerted between the bodies.

25. Central Impact

26. Coefficient of Restitution e
e = 1 : Perfectly elastic impact
e = 0 : Plastic impact / inelastic impact

27. Ex
The bag A, having a mass of 6 kg, is released from rest at the position
q = 0o. After falling to q = 90o, it strikes an 18 kg box B. If the coefficient
of restitution between the bag and box is e = 0.5, determine
(i) the velocities of the bag and box just after impact
(ii) the loss of energy during collision
