Momentum and Energy

“Human history becomes more and more a

race between education and catastrophe.”

—H. G. Wells

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Momentum

Momentum

• a property of moving things

• means inertia in motion

• more specifically, mass of an object multiplied by

its velocity

• in equation form: mass velocity

(momentum = mv)

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Momentum

example:

• A moving boulder has more

momentum than a stone rolling at

the same speed.

• A fast boulder has more momentum

than a slow boulder.

• A boulder at rest has no momentum.

Impulse

Impulse

• product of force and time (force time)

• in equation form: impulse = Ft

example: • A brief force applied over a short time interval produces a

smaller change in momentum than the same force applied over

a longer time interval.

or

• If you push with the same force for twice the time, you impart

twice the impulse and produce twice the change in momentum.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Impulse Changes Momentum

The greater the impulse exerted on

something, the greater the change in

momentum. • in equation form: Ft = (mv)

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

When the force that produces an impulse acts for twice as

much time, the impulse is

A. not changed.

B. doubled.

C. quadrupled.

D. halved.

Impulse Changes Momentum

• Case 1: increasing momentum – apply the greatest force for as long as possible and

you extend the time of contact

– force can vary throughout the duration of contact

examples: • golfer swings a club and follows through

• baseball player hits a ball and follows through

A cannonball shot from a cannon with a long barrel will

emerge with greater speed because the cannonball

receives a greater

A. average force.

B. impulse.

C. both of the above

D. neither of the above

Explanation:

The force on the cannonball will be the same for a short- or long-barreled cannon.

The longer barrel provides for a longer time for the force to act, and therefore, a

greater impulse. (The long barrel also provides a longer distance for the force to

act, providing greater work and greater kinetic energy of the cannonball.)

When a dish falls, will the change in momentum be less if it

lands on a carpet than if it lands on a hard floor? (Careful!)

A. no, both are the same

B. yes, less if it lands on the carpet

C. no, less if it lands on a hard floor

D. no, more if it lands on a hard floor

Explanation:

The momentum becomes zero in both cases, so both change by the same

amount. Although the momentum change and impulse are the same, the force is

less when the time of momentum change is extended. Be careful to distinguish

between force, impulse, and momentum.

Impulse Changes Momentum

examples:

when a car is out of control, it is better to hit a

haystack than a concrete wall

physics reason: same impulse either way, but extension

of hitting time reduces the force

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Impulse Changes Momentum

example (continued):

in jumping, bend your knees when your feet make

contact with the ground because the extension of

time during your momentum decrease reduces the

force on you

in boxing, ride with the punch

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Impulse Changes Momentum

• Case 3: decreasing momentum over a short time

– short time interval produces large force

example: Karate expert splits a

stack of bricks by bringing her

arm and hand swiftly against

the bricks with considerable

momentum. Time of contact is

brief and force of impact is huge.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Bouncing

Impulses are generally greater when objects

bounce.

example:

Catching a falling flower pot from a shelf with your

hands. You provide the impulse to reduce its

momentum to zero. If you throw the flower pot up

again, you provide an additional impulse. This “double

impulse” occurs when something bounces.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Bouncing

Pelton wheel designed to “bounce” water when it

makes a U-turn when it impacts the curved

paddle

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Conservation of Momentum

Law of conservation of momentum:

In the absence of an external force, the

momentum of a system remains unchanged.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Conservation of Momentum

examples: • When a cannon is fired, the force on cannonball

inside the cannon barrel is equal and opposite to the force of the cannonball on the cannon.

• The cannonball gains momentum, while the cannon gains an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction—the cannon recoils.

When no external force is present, no external impulse is present, and no change in momentum is possible.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Conservation of Momentum

examples (continued):

• Internal molecular forces within a baseball come in

pairs, cancel one another out, and have no effect

on the momentum of the ball.

• Molecular forces within a baseball have no effect

on its momentum.

• Pushing against a car’s dashboard has no effect

on its momentum.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Collisions

For all collisions in the absence of external

forces

• net momentum before collision equals net

momentum after collision

• in equation form:

(net mv)before = (net mv)after

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Collisions

Collisions

• elastic collision

– occurs when colliding objects rebound without

lasting deformation or any generation of heat

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Collisions

Collisions

• inelastic collision

– occurs when colliding objects result in

deformation and/or the generation of heat

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Collisions

example of elastic collision:

single car moving at 10 m/s collides with another car of

the same mass, m, at rest

From the conservation of momentum,

(net mv)before = (net mv)after

(m 10)before = (2m V)after

V = 5 m/s

– momentum depends on velocity

– kinetic energy depends on the square of
