Advanced concepts in momentum Pictures and notes
We are still working with Momentum • Conservation of momentum in one direction • Conservation of momentum in 2 dimensions
Collisions • All collisions between objects that conserve momentum are divided into 3 categories • Completely Inelastic: object stick together after collision • Inelastic: object bounce off each other • Elastic: objects bounce off each other AND Kinetic energy of the system is conserved
How does it do damage • A small explosive charge is surrounded by metal filings, spheres, nails…. • When the charge explodes, it transfers energy to each piece of shrapnel, with move in all directions from the core.
Connection • Sum of momentum of all parts before explosion must equal sum of all parts afterward. • Smaller shrapnel move at high speeds
Back to grenades and conservation of momentum • Draw free-body diagrams • Calculate momentum • Determine components of momentum • Solve for unknowns (or their components)
Other 2-deminsional problems • Collisions • Pool • Questions 22-25 pg 243
Example of auto accident • A 1209 kg car traveling north at 12.7 m/s strikes a 2378 kg Truck traveling 10.3 m/s east. The ground is extremely icy and level. • If the wreckage sticks together, how fast will it move and in what direction • If car and truck stay intact, and the truck moves 11.0 NE, what speed and direction will the car move?
Similar to linear conservation • IN a closed system, the amount of rotational momentum is conserved, but can be transformed or transferred
