Linear Momentum
When a particle with mass, m, moves with velocity v, we define its momentum, p, as a product of its mass and velocity.

p = mv

linear momentum

p is a vector quantity in the same direction as velocity, v. The unit of its magnitude in SI is kg m/s.

Isolated System
By a system, we simply mean a set of objects that interact with each other other. For any system, the forces that various particles exert on each other are called internal forces. Forces exerted of any part of a system by some agency outside are called external forces. A system with no external forces is called an isolated syste . ( system. (F external = 0)

In this case the colliding object continues in the same direction after the impact but with reduced speed while the target object moves ahead of at faster pace pace. If m1 >> m2 the colliding object losses little speed while the target one is given speed nearly twice v1i. (v2f=2v1i)

Conceptual Question p Q
Two objects have the same momentum momentum. Do the velocities of these objects ecessa y a e t e sa e d ect o necessarily have (a) the same direction and (b) the same magnitude? Give your reasoning in each case.

Ch7 - Linear Momentum

22/01/2010 09:00

REASONING AND SOLUTION


Yes. Momentum is a vector, and the two objects have the same momentum. This means that the direction of each objects momentum is the same. Momentum is mass times velocity, and the direction of the momentum is the same as the direction of the y , y velocity. Thus, the velocity directions must be the same. No. Momentum is mass times velocity. The fact that the objects have the same momentum means that the product of the mass and the magnitude of the velocity is the same for each. Thus, the magnitude of the velocity of one object can be smaller, for example, as long as the mass of that object is proportionally greater to keep the product of mass and velocity unchanged.

Ch7 - Linear Momentum

22/01/2010 09:00

21

REASONING AND SOLUTION


If a single object has KE, it must have a velocity; therefore, it must have linear momentum as well well. In a system of two or more objects, the individual objects could have linear momentum that cancel each other. In this case, the linear momentum of the system would be zero. The kinetic energies of the objects, however, are scalar quantities that are always positive; thus the total KE of the system of thus, objects would necessarily be nonzero. Therefore, it is possible for a system of two or more objects to have a total ki i energy that i not zero b a total momentum h l kinetic h is but l that is zero.

Inelastic Collisions
In an inelastic collisions the momentum of the system is conserved

K f K i

But its kinetic energy is not conserved.

When objects stick together after colliding, the collision is completely inelastic and the maximum amount of KE is lost. p y Consider a system of two cars of mass m1 and m2 on smooth level track. One at rest while the other moves toward it with a speed v1i, what is the speed of the cars after collisions if they are stuck together after the collision?

Impulse-momentum Theorem
The impulse, J, of a force is the product of the average force, Fav and the time interval, t , during which the force acts:

(v u ) J = F t = ma t = m t = p f pi t
Impulse equals momentum change, it is a vector quantity and its unit in SI is newton second (N.s). newton-second (N s) Both mass and velocity play a role in how object responds to a given impulse, their effect is include in the concept of impulse linear momentum.

Valid for a very large force in a very short time interval & essentially zero outside. Large force short time = Small force long time. Application: Safety features for cars (or bicycle helmets). Crumple zones in cars and the padding in helmets are all there to increase the time over which a collision will take place, thus reducing the force necessary for the same impulse impulse.
