Momentum and Energy
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H. G. Wells

Momentum
a property of moving things means inertia in motion more specifically, mass of an object multiplied by
its velocity in equation form: mass velocity
(momentum = mv)

Momentum
example: A moving boulder has more
momentum than a stone rolling at the same speed.
A fast boulder has more momentum than a slow boulder.
A boulder at rest has no momentum.

Impulse
Impulse product of force and time (force time) in equation form: impulse = Ft
example: o A brief force applied over a short time interval produces a
smaller change in momentum than the same force applied over a longer time interval.
oro If you push with the same force for twice the time, you impart
twice the impulse and produce twice the change in momentum.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Impulse Changes Momentum
The greater the impulse exerted on something, the greater the change in momentum. in equation form: Ft = (mv)

When the force that produces an impulse acts for twice as much time, the impulse is ________________.

Impulse Changes Momentum Case 1: increasing momentum

A cannonball shot from a cannon with a long barrel will emerge with greater speed because the cannonball receives a greater ________________.
A. average force
B. impulse
C. both of the above
D. neither of the above
Explanation:
The force on the cannonball will be the same for a short- or long-barreled cannon. The longer barrel provides for a longer time for the force to act, and therefore, a greater impulse. (The long barrel also provides a longer distance for the force to act, providing greater work and greater kinetic energy of the cannonball.)

A. yes for all three
B. yes for 1 and 2

A. no, both are the same
B. yes, less if it lands on the carpet
C. no, less if it lands on a hard floor
D. no, more if it lands on a hard floor
Explanation:
The momentum becomes zero in both cases, so both change by the same amount. Although the momentum change and impulse are the same, the force is less when the time of momentum change is extended. Be careful to distinguish between force, impulse, and momentum.

Impulse Changes Momentum
examples: When a car is out of control, it is better to hit a haystack than a concrete wall.
physics reason: same impulse either way, but extension of hitting time reduces the force
22
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Impulse Changes Momentum
example (continued):
In jumping, bend your knees when your feet make contact with the ground because the extension of time during your momentum decrease reduces the force on you.
In boxing, ride with the punch.
23
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Impulse Changes Momentum Case 3: decreasing momentum over a short time
o short time interval produces large forceexample: Karate expert splits astack of bricks by bringing her arm and hand swiftly againstthe bricks with considerablemomentum. Time of contact is brief and force of impact is huge.
24
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Bouncing
Impulses are generally greater when objects bounce. example:
Catching a falling flower pot from a shelf with your hands: You provide the impulse to reduce its momentum to zero. If you throw the flower pot up again, you provide an additional impulse. This “double impulse” occurs when something bounces.

Conservation of Momentum
Law of conservation of momentum:In the absence of an external force, the momentum of a system remains unchanged.
27
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Conservation of Momentum
examples: When a cannon is fired, the force on cannonball
inside the cannon barrel is equal and opposite to the force of the cannonball on the cannon.
The cannonball gains momentum, while the cannon gains an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction—the cannon recoils.
When no external force is present, no external impulse is present, and no change in momentum is possible.
28
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Conservation of Momentum
examples (continued): Internal molecular forces within a baseball come in
pairs, cancel one another out, and have no effect on the momentum of the ball.
Molecular forces within a baseball have no effect on its momentum.
Pushing against a car’s dashboard has no effect on its momentum.

Collisions
For all collisions in the absence of external forces
net momentum before collision equals net momentum after collision
in equation form:
(net mv)before = (net mv)after
30
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Collisions
elastic collisiono occurs when colliding objects rebound without
lasting deformation or any generation of heat
31
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Collisions
inelastic collisiono occurs when colliding objects result in
deformation and/or the generation of heat
32
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Collisions
example of elastic collision:
single car moving at 10 m/s collides with another car of the same mass, m, at rest
From the conservation of momentum,
(net mv)before = (net mv)after
(m 10)before = (2m V)after
V = 5 m/s

Kinetic Energy and Momentum Compared
Similarities between momentum and kinetic
energy Both are properties of moving things.
Difference between momentum and kinetic energy
Momentum is a vector quantity; therefore it is directional and can be cancelled.
Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity and can never be cancelled.
