Slide 2
Agenda Warm-Up Intro to Change in Momentum Notes:
Impulse-Change in Momentum Calculating Impulse Conservation of
Momentum Objects Pushing Off of Each Other (Recoil) Problem Solving
Practice Momentum and Impulse Quiz Friday
Slide 3
Objectives: We Will Be Able To Understand the relationship
between the time interval for which a force is applied and the
change in an objects momentum. Solve problems with changes in
momentum. Understand the relationship between Newtons Third Law and
the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Calculate speeds of objects
pushing off of each other (recoil problems).
Slide 4
Warm-Up: If you were falling from a second floor window, would
you be safer if you fell onto a concrete sidewalk or a mattress?
Why? (Do not just say the mattress is softer.) Discuss at your
table, and we will discuss as a class in a few minutes.
Slide 5
Impulse The Change in Momentum
Slide 6
To change the momentum of an object, assuming that it doesnt
lose any mass, you must change its speed. It will either get faster
or slower. What is the difference between a car that gradually
comes to a stop, and a car that slams into a wall? Hint, the change
in momentum is the same because the change in speed is the
same.
Slide 7
Impulse The Change in Momentum The difference between gradually
coming to a stop and slamming into a wall is how long it takes.
Gradually coming to a stop: it takes a long time a small force is
applied Slamming into a wall takes very little time a large
(dangerous) force is applied
Slide 8
Impulse The Change in Momentum Impulse is the change in an
objects momentum. Impulse depends on how much force is applied, and
for how long. This determines by how much the speed of an object
changes. Units: kg m/s (same as momentum)
Slide 9
Practice Problems 1.A 1200-kg car traveling at 15 m/s comes to
a stop. a.What is its starting momentum? b.What is its final
momentum? c.What is its change in momentum? 2.A 140-N force is
applied to a 10-kg bowling ball for 3 seconds. What is the bowling
balls change in momentum?

Slide 11
Warm Up: What do we mean when we say that something is
conserved? Write 1-2 sentences in your notebook, then discuss at
your table.
Slide 12
The Law of Conservation of Momentum
Slide 13
What does the word conservation mean? You probably said save
dont waste maybe preserve In physics, conservation means that
nothing is lost or gained. Nothing is created or destroyed. THE LAW
OF CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM: when we say that momentum is
conserved, we mean:
Slide 14
The Law of Conservation of Momentum In other words: the total
momentum that exists in a system does not change. Momentum just
transfers from one object to another.
Slide 15
The Law of Conservation of Momentum Where does this law come
from? When two objects interact with each other: they interact for
the same amount of time N3L says that the forces on the objects
must be equal and opposite If the forces are equal and opposite,
then the momentums are equal and opposite! The man and the ball
have equal momentum in opposite directions.
Slide 16
Recoil
Slide 17
When two objects push off of each other from a stationary
position, this is called recoil. A skateboarder throwing a ball. A
person jumping off the Earth. A rifle shooting a bullet.
Conservation of Momentum in Recoil: Momentum of Object 1 = Opposite
of Momentum of Object 2
Slide 18
Recoil Practice An 80-kg astronaut floating (stationary) in
space throws a 5- kg moon rock at 8 m/s forward. What is the
astronauts speed after he throws the rock? -0.5 m/s
Slide 19
Wrap-Up: Did we meet our objectives? Understand the
relationship between the time interval for which a force is applied
and the change in an objects momentum. Solve problems with changes
in momentum. Understand the relationship between Newtons Third Law
and the conservation of momentum. Calculate speeds of objects
pushing off of each other (recoil problems).
