Impulse and Momentum Momentum is the product of a particle’s mass and velocity, has units of kg m/s, and is given by The impulse upon a particle is defined as Impulse has units of N s, but you should be able to show that N s are equivalent to kg m/s. The impulse-momentum theorem is
EXAMPLE 9.2 A bouncing ball QUESTION:
Conservation of Momentum Stated mathematically, the law of conservation of momentum for an isolated system is The total momentum after an interaction is equal to the total momentum before the interaction.

The cart’s change of momentum is • 30 kg m/s. • 10 kg m/s. • –10 kg m/s. • –20 kg m/s. • –30 kg m/s.
A 10 g rubber ball and a 10 g clay ball are thrown at a wall with equal speeds. The rubber ball bounces, the clay ball sticks. Which ball exerts a larger impulse on the wall? • They exert equal impulses because they have equal momenta. • The clay ball exerts a larger impulse because it sticks. • Neither exerts an impulse on the wall because the wall doesn’t move. • The rubber ball exerts a larger impulse because it bounces.
Objects A and C are made of different materials, with different “springiness,” but they have the same mass and are initially at rest. When ball B collides with object A, the ball ends up at rest. When ball B is thrown with the same speed and collides with object C, the ball rebounds to the left. Compare the velocities of A and C after the collisions. Is vA greater than, equal to, or less than vC? • vA > vC • vA < vC • vA = vC
The two particles are both moving to the right. Particle 1 catches up with particle 2 and collides with it. The particles stick together and continue on with velocity vf. Which of these statements is true? • vf = v2. • vf is less than v2. • vf is greater than v2, but less thanv1. • vf = v1. • vf is greater than v1.
An explosion in a rigid pipe shoots out three pieces. A 6 g piece comes out the right end. A 4 g piece comes out the left end with twice the speed of the 6 g piece. From which end does the third piece emerge? • Right end • Left end
