Momentum Objectives Momentum and Newtons Second Law Impulse

Momentum Objectives: • Momentum and Newton’s Second Law • Impulse of a Force • Collisions

Momentum = (Mass ) x (Velocity) Magnitude Direction Newton’s Second Law Revisited: Net Force = (Change in Momentum) (Time) No Net Force Momentum Before = Momentum After Net Force Momentum changes due to the Force

While standing on ice, you take your 0. 450 -kg hat and throw it horizontally at 0. 5 m/s. If your mass is 70 kg, what is your recoil velocity? Ans.

Example: Collisions Momentum Before = Momentum After Q 7. A 200 -g glider moves at 1. 2 m/s to the right and collides with a 100 -g stationary glider. In which direction will the 200 -g glider go after the collisions? (a) right (b) left (c) It stops

Example: Collisions Momentum Before = Momentum After Q 8. A 200 -g glider moves at 1. 2 m/s to the right and collides with a 100 -g that is moving to the left at 0. 8 m/s. After the collisions, the two gliders stick together. With what velocity are they moving?

Example: Collisions Momentum Before = Momentum After Q 8. A 200 -g glider moves at 1. 2 m/s to the right and collides with a 100 -g that is moving to the left at 0. 8 m/s. After the collisions, the two gliders stick together. With what velocity are they moving? Before collision: (0. 200 kg)(1. 2 m/s) + (0. 100 kg)(-0. 8) = 0. 16 kg. m/s After collision: (0. 200 kg + 0. 100 kg)(velocity) = (0. 3 kg) (velocity) 0. 16 = 0. 3 v v = 0. 53 m/s
