Lecture7 1

This chapter discusses impulse, momentum, and their roles in sports like bowling, baseball, tennis, soccer, karate, and football. It defines impulse as the product of average force and time interval and momentum as the product of mass and velocity. The impulse-momentum theorem states that the impulse of a net force equals the change in an object's momentum. Collisions are classified as elastic or inelastic depending on whether total kinetic energy is conserved.

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

Impulse is a vector quantity and has the same direction as the


average force.
SI Unit of Impulse: newton · second = (N · s)
Momentum, p
The linear momentum p of an object is the product of the
object’s mass m and velocity v:

Linear momentum is a vector quantity that points in the


same direction as the velocity.
SI Unit of Linear Momentum:
kilogram · meter/second = (kg · m/s)

IMPULSE–MOMENTUM
THEOREM
When a net force acts on an object, the impulse of the net
force is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

Hailstones Versus
Raindrops
Unlike rain, hail usually does not come to rest after striking a
surface. Instead, the hailstones bounce off the roof of the car. If hail
fell instead of rain, would the force on the roof be smaller than,
equal to, or greater?

Answer: Greater
Example
A baseball (m = 0.14 kg) has an initial velocity of v0 = –38 m/s
as it approaches a bat. We have chosen the direction of
approach as the negative direction. The bat applies an average
force that is much larger than the weight of the ball, and the
ball departs from the bat with a final velocity of vf = +38 m/s.
Determine the impulse applied to the ball by the bat.
Definitions of Terms
Internal forces Forces that the objects within the system
exert on each other.
External forces Forces exerted on the objects by agents that
are external to the system.
An isolated system is one for which the vector sum of the
external forces acting on the system is zero.
7.2 The Principle of
Conservation of Linear
Momentum
The total linear momentum of an isolated system remains
constant (is conserved).
EXAMPLE 5
Assembling a Freight Train
A freight train is being assembled in a switching yard, and
Figure 7.10 shows two boxcars. Car 1 has a mass of m1 =
65×103 kg and moves at a velocity of v01 = +0.80 m/s. Car 2,
with a mass of m2 = 92×103 kg and a velocity of v02 = +1.3
m/s, overtakes car 1 and couples to it. Neglecting friction, find
the common velocity vf of the cars after they become coupled.
EXAMPLE 6 Ice Skaters
Starting from rest, two skaters “push off” against each other
on smooth level ice, where friction is negligible. As Figure
7.11a shows, one is a woman (m1 = 54 kg), and one is a
man (m2 = 88 kg). Part b of the drawing shows that the
woman moves away with a velocity of vf1 = +2.5 m/s. Find
the “recoil” velocity vf2 of the man.
Collisions
Collisions are often classified according to whether the total kinetic
energy changes during the collision:
1.Elastic collision—One in which the total kinetic energy of the
system after the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy before
the collision.
2.Inelastic collision—One in which the total kinetic energy of the
system is not the same before and after the collision; if the objects
stick together after colliding, the collision is said to be completely
inelastic.
Collisions in One
Dimension

1. Apply the conservation of momentum.


2. If the collision is elastic, apply the conservation of energy.
