2. Momentum Inertia in Motion

3. Definition of Momentum Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Momentum Mass Velocity

4. Momentum Depends on Velocity An object must be moving in order to have momentum. Consider the truck at rest. Consider the skate boarder. He has momentum.

5. Momentum Depends on Mass Larger objects traveling at the same velocity as smaller objects will have greater momentum.

6. The Nature of Momentum Momentum is a vector quantity. –It has magnitude (how big). –It has direction (right(+) or left(-)). Direction is denoted by sign (+ or -). 235

7. Collisions The collisions that we will study will involve two objects. Each object possesses its own momentum. Collisions are broken down into two categories: –Elastic (Objects Separate) –Inelastic (Objects Stick Together)

8. Momentum – Elastic Collisions Elastic Collision – a collision in which the colliding bodies do not stick together. The equation used for elastic collisions is as follows.

9. Momentum – Inelastic Collisions Inelastic Collision – a collision in which the colliding bodies stick together. The equation used for inelastic collisions is as follows.

10. Elastic Collisions The total momentum of the system remains constant. Elastic collision, objects move off with separate velocities. This means that they can bounce. Or they can be projected from rest (like a cannon).

12. Head on Elastic collisions In Elastic collisions, KE is conserved

13. Impulse (  mv) When objects collide, their velocities change. This means that their individual momentums will also change. Impulse simply defines the change in momentum for an individual object (denoted by  mv).

14. Impulse (  mv) There are two ways to calculate impulse: –You can subtract initial momentum from final momentum. –Or you can take the product of force and time. The units for impulse are in Ns, which is equal to kgm/s

25. Inelastic Collisions The Law of Conservation of Momentum: that the total momentum of the system remains constant, no matter what the collision. In an inelastic collision, objects stick together. This means that they have the same final velocity (v F ). N S S N v1v1 v2v2 vFvF vFvF Collide

26. Inelastic Collision Equation The inelastic collision equation takes into account the momentum of each object before and after the collision. Because the objects are combined after the collision, and they have the same final velocity (v F ).

Trains are stupid cuz they can’t do Physics!
