9.2 Conservation of Momentum • System is a defined collection of obj • ects.
Newton’s 3rd Law & Momentum • Impulse-Momentum Theorem is another way of stating Newton’s 3rd Law. • A system is isolated if no net external forces acts on it. • The momentum is conserved.
Law of Conservation and Momentum • Momentum of any closed, isolated system does not change. • Fig 9-5 207 • pa + pb = pa + p b • mava + mbvb = mava + mbvb
This fig. shows that when cars A & B collide, p is conserved. Example Problem 209 Practice Problems 210
Internal and External Forces • Internal forces cannot change total momentum. • External forces the system is not closed and momentum is not conserved. • It’s important to define a system carefully. • The total momentum of an isolated system is constant.
Ex Pr Recoil 212 Prac Pr 213 Conservation of Momentum in Two Dimensions • Total momentum is the vector sum of the momenta of all the parts of the system.

9.2 The Conservation of Momentum • Newton’s 3rd law is another statement of the law of conservation of momentum. • The law of conservation of momentum states: In a closed, isolated system, the total momentum of the system does not change. • The momentum of a system changes when it is not isolated, that is, when a net external force acts on it.
