Momentum • A measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object • Momentum = (MASS) (VELOCITY)
Momentum Equation p= m v Units p= mv = (kg)(meter) = kg·m second s
Momentum animations • http://physics.weber.edu/amiri/director/Momentum.html
Momentum Example 1 What is the momentum of an orange with a mass of 0.5kg thrown with a velocity of 5.0 m/s? m = 0.5kg v = 5.0 m/s p = mv = (0.5kg)(5.0 m/s) = 2.5 kg·m s
Momentum Example 2 An object with a mass of 3.0 kg is traveling at a velocity of 4.0 m/s . What is its momentum?

Conservation of Momentum Newton’s Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction! • To accelerate an object, we must apply force
Conservation of Momentum • Force(s) must be external • Internal forces do not apply E.g. to accelerate a car, do you push on the dashboard?

Collisions Net momentum before collision = Net momentum after the collision

Impulse = force exerted over time Impulse changes momentum
Impulse Equation J = (Force) (time) J = Ft = mΔv = Δp = m (v2-v1) = Δp (mass)(change in velocity) = change in momentum
Impulse Units J= (Newton) (seconds) J = N·s • Force is in Newtons • Time is in seconds
Impulse Example An 8N force acts on a 5 kg object for 3 seconds. If the initial velocity of the object was 25 m/s, what is its final velocity? F= 8 N m= 5 kg t= 3 s v1 = 25 m/s v2= ? J = Ft =(8N)(3s) = 24 N·s BUT we need to find v2 ………
Impulse Example J = mΔv = m (v2-v1) = 24 N·s = 5 kg(v2 - 25 m/s) = 24 = 5 v2- 125 m/s = 125+24= 5 v2 = 149/5 = v2 = 29.8 m/s
