3.1 Momentum • Is it easier to stop a heavy truck or a small • Car moving at the same speed? Why? • Momentum: inertia in motion. • Momentum = mass x velocity
3.2 Impulse • Change in momentum: 1. change in mass 2. change in velocity 3. change in both • If it is because of change in velocity, then there is acceleration • If there is acceleration then there is a force • The greater the change in force the greater the change in momentum • Time is also important: apply a force for a long time, you produce more change in momentum • Impulse = force x time interval
3.3 Impulse-Momentum Relationship • The greater the impulse exerted on an object, the greater will be its change in momentum • Impulse = change in momentum • Ft = change in (mv) • *in addition to acceleration Case 1: Increasing momentum cannons with large barrels. force on a golf ball and distortion
Case 2: Decreasing momentum over a long time • Decrease in momentum is same • The impulse required to stop is same • But force is not the same, damage is not the same
Case 3: Decreasing the momentum over a short time • Impact forces are large • Bouncing
3.4 Conservation of Momentum • Internal forces cancel
