  1. CHAPTER 12 – MOTION AND MOMENTUM Conservation of Momentum

  2. Conservation of Momentum pg 339 • 1. What is the law of conservation of momentum? The total momentum of objects that collide with each other does not change

  3. Conservation of Momentum pg 339 • 2. What outside forces could impact a collision? • friction • gravity • 3. Why “might” these forces be ignored? sometimes the effects of these forces are small enough to be ignored

  4. Conservation of Momentum pg 339 • 4. What are some ways collisions occur? bouncing off ex: bowling balls and bowling pins sticking together ex: football players during a tackle after colliding, objects still move stuck together, but at different speeds • 5. Sticking together

  5. Conservation of Momentum pg 340 mass of bag: 2 kg step 1: what do you know? • 6. Find total momentum if a 2 kg backpack is tossed at a speed of 5 m/s to a person at rest with a mass of 48 kg. speed of bag: 5 m/s mass of person: 48 kg speed of person: 0 m/s step 2: what do you want to find? total momentum = bag’s momentum + person’s momentum step 3: substitute total momentum = 2 kg * 5 m/s + 48 kg * 0 m/s = 10 kg * m/s

  6. Conservation of Momentum pg 340 mass of bag: 2 kg speed of bag: 5 m/s step 1: what do you know? • 7. Find the final velocity of the person and the backpack from #6. mass of person: 48 kg speed of person: 0 m/s total momentum: 10 kg * m/s step 2: what do you want to find? final velocity momentum: p = m * v v = p/m step 3: substitute v = 10 kg * m/s 50 kg = 0.2 m/s

  7. Conservation of Momentum pg 342 • 8. Bouncing • off after colliding, two objects bounce off each other, but they may transfer momentum from one to another total momentum is the same before and after the collision • 9. Total momentum
