Chapter 6 Momentum and Collisions
Momentum Definition: Important because it is CONSERVED proof: Since F 12=-F 21, for isolated particles never changes!
Vector quantity § Both Spx and Spy are conserved

Example 6. 2 Ted and his ice-boat (combined mass = 240 kg) rest on the frictionless surface of a frozen lake. A heavy rope (mass of 80 kg and length of 100 m) is laid out in a line along the top of the lake. Initially, Ted and the rope are at rest.

Example 6. 3 A 1967 Corvette of mass 1450 kg moving with a velocity of 100 mph (= 44. 7 m/s) slides on a slick street and collides with a Hummer of mass 3250 kg which is parked on the side of the street. The two vehicles interlock and slide off together. What is the speed of the two vehicles immediately after they join? 13. 8 m/s =30. 9 mph
Impulse Useful for sudden changes when not interested in force but only effects of force

Graphical Representation of Impulse For a complicated force, impulse is represented graphically by the area under the F vs. t curve. F Total Impulse F Dt t

Elastic & Inelastic Collisions § ELASTIC: § Both energy & momentum are conserved § INELASTIC § Momentum conserved, not energy § Perfectly inelastic -> objects stick § Lost energy goes to heat
Examples of Perfectly Inelastic Collisions • • Catching a baseball Football tackle Cars colliding and sticking Bat eating an insect

The cars collide and stick. a) What is the final velocity of the two vehicles? b) What are the equivalent “brick-wall” speeds for each vehicle? a) 6. 73 m/s = 15. 1 mph b) 19. 9 mph for Cadillac, 50. 1 mph for Civic
