Impulse and Momentum A collision occurs when a relatively large force acts over a relatively short period of time. A net force will produce acceleration, and therefore a change in momentum: F = dp dt Fdt = dp The net force acting over time will produce a change in momentum-- this is called impulse (J)!
The impulse-momentum theorem states that the net force acting on a particle during any given time interval is equal to the change in momentum of the particle during that time period:
For a constant force: J = ∆p = pf - pi For a varying force: J = ∫ F(t)dt = ∆p

Conservation of momentum in collisions If there are no external forces acting upon a system of particles, then there can be no net change in total momentum of the system: ∆P = ∆p1 + ∆p2 + … = 0
Conservation of momentum in collisions In any type of collision, linear momentum is always conserved! Total energy is also always conserved, but often times mechanical energy will be converted to internal, rotational, radiant, etc., forms of energy. • If the mechanical energy is conserved, then the collision is known as an elastic collision. • If Ki Kf , then it is an inelastic collision.
Elastic Collisions: p is always conserved: m1v1i + m2 v2i = m1v1f + m2 v2f K is also conserved: .5m1v1i2 + .5m2v2i2 = .5m1v1f2 + m2v2f2 P eq. can be expressed: m1(v1i - v1f ) = m2(v2f - v2i ) K eq. can be: m1(v1i2 - v1f2 ) = m2(v2f2 - v2i2 ) Dividing these equations: v1i + v1f = v2f + v2i The following can then be derived:
v1f = (m1 – m2)(v1i) + 2m2 (v2i) m1 + m2 m1 + m2 v2f = 2m1 (v1i) + (m2 – m1) (v2i) m1 + m2 m1 + m2 If the target particle is at rest: v2f = 2m1 (v1i) m1 + m2 v1f = (m1 – m2)(v1i) m1 + m2
Inelastic Collisions: Momentum is conserved (as always), but K is not, so we examine one special case: • In a completely inelastic collision, the two particles stick together and have a common velocity afterward: v1f = v2f = vf
Two - Dimensional Collisions Momentum is always conserved in collisions: v = 0 ø2 ø1 pi = pf m1v1ix = m1v1f cosø1 + m2v2f cosø2 m1v1iy = m1v1f sinø1 + m2v2f sinø2 Remember:if the collision is elastic Ki = Kf

Momentum is conserved in the x and y direction: mAvA = (mA + mB)(Vcosø) (1) mBvB = (mA + mB)(Vsinø) (2) Eq. (2) (1) : tanø = mBvB mAvA = . 911 ø = tan-1 . 911 = 42.3˚ V = mAvA (mA + mB)(cosø) = 5.21 km/h
Loss of K = Kf - Ki Ki Ki = .5mAvA2 + .5mBvB2 = 3830 Kf = .5(mA + mB)V2 = 1870 Loss of K = 1870 - 3830 3830 = - 0 . 51 51% of K is dissipated in some form or other

Momentum is conserved: mv = (M + m)V Total energy of the swinging bullet + block pendulum is conserved: .5(m +M)V2 = (m + M)g∆h V = 2 g∆h v = (M + m) 2g∆h m = 630 m/s
Show how this is obviously an inelastic collision: Ki = Kb = .5mv2 = 1900 J Kf = K b + B = .5(m + M)V2 = U b + B Ki ≠ Kf U b + B = (m + M)g∆h = 3.3 J Only 3.3 J out of 1900 J, or 0.2%, is transferred to the mechanical energy of the pendulum! The rest would be transferred as internal energy-- heat, sound, etc.

In this case, the motion of the two particles is complicated, but the overall motion of the system is relatively simple. The center of mass (cm)– the “average” location of the masses follows a relatively simple motion of a single particle. The location of the center of mass of the system is proportional to the each mass’ location: 1 M xcm = (m1x1 + m2x2) M = m1 + m2
For a many particle system: xcm = 1/M(m1x1 + m2x2 + …. mnxn) M = m1 + m2 + …. mn = ∑mn xcm = (1/M)∑mnxn ycm = (1/M)∑mnyn zcm = (1/M)∑mnzn rcm = (1/M)∑mnrn vcm = (1/M)∑mnvn acm = (1/M)∑mnan
Three particles are arranged as follows: 1 2 3 What is the magnitude and direction from the origin of the cm of the system? m1 = 4.1 kg @ (-2 cm, 3 cm) m2 = 8.2 kg @ ( 4 cm, 2 cm) m3 = 4.1 kg @ ( 1 cm, -2 cm)
xcm = (1/M)(m1x1 + m2x2 + m3x3) xcm = (1/16.4 kg)[(4.1 kg)(-2 cm) + (8.2 kg)(4 cm) + (4.1 kg)(1 cm)] = 1.8 cm ycm = (1/M)(m1y1 + m2y2 + m3y3) ycm = (1/16.4 kg)[(4.1 kg)(3 cm) + (8.2 kg)(2 cm) + (4.1 kg)(-2 cm)] = 1.3 cm rcm = (1.8 cm)2 + (1.3 cm)2 = 2.22 cm ø = tan-1 (y/x) = tan-1 (1.3/1.8) = 36˚
Newton’s Laws then hold for each individual parts as well as the center of mass for the system. Therefore, if the net external forces acting on the parts of the system are not balanced, there will be a net force acting on the center of mass of the system: ∑Fext = macm If the net external force acting upon the parts of the system is balanced, then the center of mass of the system will move at constant speed: ∑Fext = 0

A dog weighing 10.8 lb is standing on a flatboat so that he is 21.4 ft from the shore. He walks the 8.50 ft length of the flatboat and then halts. The boat weighs 46.4 lb, and you can assume the water to be frictionless. How far is the dog from the shore after walking? (Assume the boat is perpendicular to the shore and realize that you have two possible answers depending upon whether the dog walks toward the shore or away).
