MOMENTUM AND IMPULSE
Chapter 7
Linear Momentum, p
Momentum is a measure of how hard it is to
stop or turn a moving object. It is moving
inertia.


p  mv
(single particle)
ptotal   pn
(system of particles)
Units of momentum: kg(m/s) or (N)(S)
Since velocity, v, is a vector,
momentum, p, is a vector.
p is in the same direction as v

The rate of change of momentum of a
body is equal to the net force applied to it.
Example - Washing a car: momentum change and
force. Water leaves a hose at a rate of 1.5 kg/s with
a speed of 20 m/s and is aimed at the side of a car,
which stops it (that is we ignore any splashing
back). What is the force exerted by the water on
the car?
In each second, 1.5 kg of water
v  20m / s
leaves hose and has v=20 m/s.
pi  mvi  1.5(20)  30kg m / s
p f  mvf  0
px p f  pi 0  30
 Fx  t  t  1  30N
By Newton’s 3rd law, force exerted by water on the car
is +30 N
Example - Washing a car: momentum change and
force. What if the water splashes back from the
car? Would the force on the car be more or less?
pi
pf
In each second, 1.5 kg of water
leaves hose and has v=20 m/s.
pi  mvi  30kg m / s
If the water splashes back
p f  mvf  0
Change in momentum would be greater and so the force
should be greater.
The car exerts a force on the water not only to stop it, but an
extra force to give it momentum in the opposite direction

Impulse is the product of
a net external force and
time which results in a
change in momentum
Units are N s or kg m/s
Impulsive forces are
generally of high
magnitude and short
duration.

DO NOW – Force to stop a car: momentum
change, force and impulse. A 2200 kg vehicle traveling
at 26 m/s can be stopped in 21 s by gently applying the
brakes. It can be stopped in 3.8 s if the driver slams on the
brakes, or in 0.22s if it hits a concrete wall. What impulse is
exerted on the vehicle in eachof these stops? What net

Types of Collisions
In all collisions where ΣFext = 0, momentum is conserved
Elastic Collisions
No deformation occurs.
Kinetic energy is also
conserved.
Inelastic Collisions:
Deformation occurs.
Kinetic energy is lost.
Explosions
Reverse of perfectly
inelastic collision, kinetic
energy is gained.
