6.1- Momentum and Impulse Momentumis a measure on how difficult it is to stop a moving object. Momentum is a vector quantity. p = mν Measured inkg • m/s
Objects with a high momentum can have a greater mass, velocity, or both! 1 2 ν1 = ν2 m1 > m2
Falling Object 1 Falling Object 2 ν1 > ν2 m1 = m2
A change in momentum takes force and time. ΣFΔt = Δp This product of force and the time over which it acts on an object is known as animpulse (FΔt). ΣFΔt = mvf – mvi Impulse-Momentum Theorem
Wall exerts an impulse on the moving ball, thereby causing a change in momentum p1 p2
Sample Problem A 1400 kg car moving westward with a velocity of 15 m/s collides with a pole and is brought to rest in 0.30 s. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the car during the collision? (Pg. 211)
ΣFΔt = mνf– mνi ΣF (0.30 s) = (1400 kg)(0 m/s) – (1400 kg)(- 15 m/s) ΣF (0.30 s) = 21,000 kg • m/s ΣF = 7.0 x 104 N to the East Δt = 0.30 s νf = 0 m/s m = 1400 kg νi = -15 m/s
