9-1 Momentum and Its Relation to Force
Momentum is a vector symbolized by the symbol , and is defined as
The rate of change of momentum is equal to the net force:
This is the correct form of Newton’s second law as discussed in week 4.

Example 9-1: Force of a tennis serve.
For a top player, a tennis ball may leave the racket on the serve with a speed of 55 m/s (about 120 mi/h). If the ball has a mass of 0.060 kg and is in contact with the racket for about 4 ms (4 x 10-3 s), estimate the average force on the ball. Would this force be large enough to lift a 60 kg person?

9-2 Conservation of Momentum
Conservation of momentum can also be derived from Newton’s laws. A collision takes a short enough time that we can ignore external forces. Since the internal forces are equal and opposite, the total momentum is constant.

9-2 Conservation of Momentum
This is the law of conservation of linear momentum:
when the net external force on a system of objects is zero, the total momentum of the system remains constant.
Equivalently,
the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

9-2 Conservation of Momentum
Momentum conservation works for a rocket as long as we consider the rocket and its fuel to be one system, and account for the mass loss of the rocket.
Since pi = 0, the final momentum of the system procket + pgas
is still zero.

Since the time of the collision is often very short, we may be able to use the average force, which would produce the same impulse over the same time interval.

9-4 Conservation of Energy and Momentum in Collisions
Momentum is conservedin all collisions.
Collisions in which kinetic energy is conserved as well are called elastic collisions, and those in which it is not are called inelastic.

9-5 Elastic Collisions in One Dimension
Here we have two objects colliding elastically. We know the masses and the initial speeds.
Since both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved, we can write two equations. This allows us to solve for the two unknown final speeds.
The following slides are a slightly different approach that the text book.

v2 = u1 + v1 – u2 & v1 = v2 + u2 –u1

9-5 Elastic Collisions in One Dimension
Example 9-8: Unequal masses, target at rest.
A very common practical situation is for a moving object (mA) to strike a second object (mB, the “target”) at rest (vB = 0). Assume the objects have unequal masses, and that the collision is elastic and occurs along a line (head-on). (a) Derive equations for vB’ and vA’ in terms of the initial velocity vA of mass mA and the masses mA and mB. (b) Determine the final velocities if the moving object is much more massive than the target (mA >> mB). (c) Determine the final velocities if the moving object is much less massive than the target (mA << mB).

9-6 Inelastic Collisions
With inelastic collisions, some of the initial kinetic energy is lost to thermal or potentialenergy. Kinetic energy may also be gained during explosions, as there is the addition of chemical or nuclear energy.
A completely inelastic collision is one in which the objects stick together afterward, so there is only one final velocity.

Example 9-11: Ballistic pendulum.
The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile, such as a bullet. The projectile, of mass m, is fired into a large block of mass M, which is suspended like a pendulum. As a result of the collision, the pendulum and projectile together swing up to a maximum height h. Determine the relationship between the initial horizontal speed of the projectile, v, and the maximum height h.

9-7 Collisions in Two or Three Dimensions
Conservation of energy and momentum can also be used to analyze collisions in two or threedimensions, but unless the situation is very simple, the math quickly becomes unwieldy.
Here, a moving object collides with an object initially at rest. Knowing the masses and initial velocities is not enough; we need to know the angles as well in order to find the final velocities.

The two balls are observed to move off at 45° to the x axis, ball A above the xaxis and ball B below. That is, θA’ = 45° and θB’= -45 °. What are the speeds of the two balls after the collision?

3. Draw diagrams of the initial and final situations, with momentum vectors labeled.
4. Choose a coordinate system.

9-9 Center of Mass and Translational Motion
The total momentum of a system of particles is equal to the product of the total mass and the velocity of the center of mass.
The sum of all the forces acting on a system is equal to the total mass of the system multiplied by the acceleration of the center of mass:
Therefore, the center of mass of a system of particles (or objects) with total mass Mmoves like a single particle of mass M acted upon by the same net external force.

A rocket is shot into the air as shown. At the moment it reaches its highest point, a horizontal distance d from its starting point, a prearranged explosion separates it into two parts of equal mass. Part I is stopped in midair by the explosion and falls vertically to Earth. Where does part II land? Assume g = constant.

After the rocket is fired, the path of the CM of the system continues to follow the parabolic trajectory of a projectile acted on only by a constant gravitational force. The CM will thus arrive at a point 2d from the starting point.Since the masses of I and II are equal, the CM must be midway between them.Therefore, part II lands a distance 3d from the starting point.

• Impulse:
• In an elastic collision, total kinetic energy is also conserved.
• In an inelastic collision, some kinetic energy is lost.
• In a completely inelastic collision, the two objects stick together after the collision.
• The center of mass of a system is the point at which external forces can be considered to act.
