Slide 4 / 90 Momentum Return to Table of Contents Slide 5 / 90 Momentum Defined Newton’s First Law tells us that – objects remain in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a force. In our experience: · When objects of different masses travel with the same velocity, the one with most mass is hardest to stop. · When objects of equal mass travel with different velocities, the fastest one is hardest to stop. Slide 6 / 90 Momentum Defined · Define a new quantity, momentum ( p ), that takes these observations into account: momentum = mass × velocity p =mv click here for a introductory video on momentum from Bill Nye!

Slide 7 / 90 Momentum is a Vector Quantity Since: · mass is a scalar quantity · velocity is a vector quantity and: · momentum = mass × velocity Momentum is a vector quantity Slide 8 / 90 SI Unit for Momentum There no specially named units for momentum. We just use the product of the units of mass and velocity... mass x velocity kg ⋅ m/s Slide 9 / 90 1 Which has more momentum? A A large truck moving at 30 m/s B A small car moving at 30 m/s C Both have the same momentum. Answer

Answer Slide 13 (Answer) / 90 5 What is the mass of an object whose momentum is 35 kg ⋅ m/s when its velocity is 7.0 m/s? v = 7 m/s ⋅ m/s p = 35 kg Answer p = mv divide both sides by v ⋅ m/s)/(7 m/s m = p/v = (35 kg ) = 5 kg [This object is a pull tab]

Slide 14 / 90 Momentum Change & Impulse Return to Table of Contents Slide 15 / 90 Change in Momentum Suppose that there is an event that changes an object's momentum. · from p 0 - the initial momentum (just before the event) · by Δp - the change in momentum · to p f - the final momentum (just after the event) The equation for momentum change is: Slide 16 / 90 Momentum Change = Impulse Momentum change equation: Newton's First Law tells us that the velocity (and so the momentum) of an object won't change unless the object is affected by an external force. When an outside force F acts on the object for a time Δt , it delivers an impulse I to the object that changes its momentum : Where the impulse is:

Slide 17 / 90 SI Unit for Impulse There no specially named unit for impulse. We just use the product of the units of force and time... force x time N ⋅ s Recall that N=kg ⋅m/s 2 , so N ⋅ s=kg ⋅m/s 2 x s = kg ⋅ m/s - the same as momentum! Slide 18 / 90 Effect of Collision Time on Force Impulse = F (∆t) = F (∆t) Changing the duration ∆t of an impulse by a small F (newtons) amount can greatly change the force exerted on an object! ∆t (seconds) Slide 19 / 90 Real World Applications Impulse = F (∆t) = F (∆t) · Car Design / Accidents · airbags · collisions head-on vs walls · crush zones · Jumping / Landing · Boxing / Martial Arts · Hitting Balls - Golf, Baseball... · Catching Balls

Slide 23 / 90 9 Air bags are use in cars because they: A increase the force with which a passenger hits the dashboard B increase the duration (time) of the passenger's impact C decrease the momentum of a collision D decrease the impulse in a collision Answer B Slide 23 (Answer) / 90 9 Air bags are use in cars because they: A increase the force with which a passenger hits the dashboard B increase the duration (time) of the passenger's impact C decrease the momentum of a collision D decrease the impulse in a collision B Answer By increasing the amount of time during the collision, the force required to reduce the passenger's momentum is reduced. This in B turn reduces or prevents injury. [This object is a pull tab] Slide 24 / 90 10 One car crashes into a concrete barrier. Another car crashes into a collapsible barrier at the same speed. What is the difference between the 2 crashes? A change in momentum B force on the car C impact time D both B & C Answer

Slide 24 (Answer) / 90 10 One car crashes into a concrete barrier. Another car crashes into a collapsible barrier at the same speed. What is the difference between the 2 crashes? A change in momentum B force on the car C impact time D both B & C C Answer Whether the wall is padded or not, the car experiences the same change in momentum, and so the same impulse. The only difference is that the impact time has increased (which in turn reduces the force experienced by the car).
